Is beehiiv free to use?

Yes. beehiiv's Free plan is free, forever, with no credit card required. You get up to 2,500 subscribers, unlimited email sends, and access to beehiiv's core newsletter, website, and podcast tools. When you're ready to unlock monetization, advanced analytics, AI tools, and more, paid plans start at $59/month.

What is the difference between beehiiv Lite and beehiiv Pro plans?

Both plans include unlimited email sends, automations, the beehiiv Ad Network, paid subscription tools, digital products, and advanced analytics. Pro adds several key upgrades: the ability to remove beehiiv branding from your newsletter and website, dynamic content, priority support, and up to 10 publications per account (vs. 3 on Lite). If a white-label experience, advanced features, and faster support matter to your operation, Pro is the step up worth taking.

Every plan is built for growth.

From your first subscriber to thousands more, beehiiv is the only platform with everything you need to grow and monetize your audience.

Have a question?

How do you count subscribers?

We count unique email addresses subscribed to your publication. Free includes up to 2,500 subscribers, Lite up to 100,000, Pro up to 250,000, and Enterprise is custom.

Is there a limit on how many emails I can send?

No. Every plan includes unlimited email sends. You're never penalized for sending more often or for emailing your full list.

How does the free trial work?

Free is free forever, with no credit card required. Lite and Pro include a free trial so you can use paid features before you subscribe. No credit card is needed to get started, and the trial ends when you upgrade.

Is every product really included on every plan?

Yes. Website, podcast, community, and digital products are included on every plan. What changes as you move up is limits, support, and advanced features — not which products you can use.

What happens when I outgrow my plan?

You can upgrade to the next plan at any time. When you need custom subscriber limits, concierge onboarding, or enterprise security, talk to sales about Enterprise.

Do you take a cut of my paid subscriptions or product sales?

No. beehiiv takes 0% of your paid subscription and digital product revenue. You keep what you earn, minus Stripe's standard processing fee of 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction.

How much do I save by going yearly?

Yearly billing saves up to 20% compared with paying month to month.

When do I need to talk to sales?

Talk to sales for Enterprise — custom subscriber volume, concierge onboarding, SSO / SAML, dedicated IPs, and a customer success manager. Lite and Pro are self-serve.
