I have both @Substack and @beehiiv newsletters. Both have pros and cons. But honestly, I don't know what one to commit to. Substack only makes money when I make money but is feature lite. Beehiiv is kind expensive for me (5,000+ subs) and feels like it could even be feature obtuse. Do I need all those features? Do i need any of them? I end up flip flopping every year. So it leads me to this question.
Do you use Substack or Beehiiv? And why?
As someone who just started a newsletter 10 days ago, beehiiv has been incredibly helpful. The dashboard is well-designed, and the features are well-thought. I really appreciate the polls as they help me know what my readers like. The A/B testing for the titles is super useful. The reports are great. I haven't tested the Magic Links, Referral Program, and Monetization features yet, but I can't wait. Great work beehiiv team!

Love how this makes launching a newsletter feel less intimidating—especially with templates that actually match your vibe. Having the ability to save and reuse custom layouts is a big plus too!

whooa! Something I am definitely looking into. I am sure a ton of people like me who'd want to get started with newsletter but have no idea about writing good ones, would get help with this! Congrats on the launch! @tyler_denk @jhurd2326 @benjamin_hargett1 @ej_white7
