Newsletter platform with its own ad network, paid subscriptions and daily-credit AI writing tools
beehiiv is a newsletter publishing platform: editor, subscriber management, segmentation, A/B testing, referral program, a hosted website and monetisation through paid subscriptions, digital products and its own ad network that matches sponsors to publications. The AI layer is metered in daily credits and covers drafting posts, subject lines and images rather than being a separate product. The free Launch plan carries up to 2,500 subscribers with unlimited sends and 10 AI credits a day but no automations, ad network or paid subscriptions; Scale is $43 a month and Max $96, both up to 100,000 subscribers. A public API, a send API and an MCP server are exposed for integration. beehiiv is a US company.
Scale is $43 a month ($517 a year) and unlocks automations, the ad network and paid subscriptions; Max is $96 a month. Both cover up to 100,000 subscribers. The free Launch tier is capped at 2,500 subscribers. AI is rationed daily — 10 credits on Launch, 25 on Scale, 50 on Max.
Use tool ↗The monetisation stack is what separates it from a plain email tool: an ad network that sells your inventory for you, paid subscriptions, digital products and a referral engine, all in the same account. The free tier is real at 2,500 subscribers with unlimited sends, but it deliberately withholds the money-making features, so serious publishing starts at $43. AI here is a set of writing helpers on a daily ration, not a content engine.
Watch out: The free plan looks generous until you try to monetise — the ad network and paid subscriptions only switch on at $43 a month.
