Newsletter Builder 2.0 - Design and style your newsletter as you write
With our all-new editor experience, you can create multiple unique templates and then switch between them within the same publication. No time to build from scratch? No sweat — we’ve designed a handful of pre-built newsletter templates to get you started.
Substack or Beehiiv?
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?

Beehiiv stands out with its focus on growth-oriented tools like subscriber analytics and monetization options, making it ideal for creators looking to scale their newsletters. Its user-friendly interface and customizability give it an edge over traditional platforms.
Boy do I love Beehiiv. From the first time I saw the platform, onboarded, and started building out our two (2) newsletters (Building Stacklist and The List) I've really enjoyed how the Beehiiv team has put so much time, effort, and care into the UIUX and the experience. I was fortunate to get to see Tyler at a talk he gave in SF with Eric Ries and it was amazing to hear all the early Beehiiv stories, how they started, scaled, and Tyler's approach to product and culture. Glad to be a supporter of the team and watch where the journey goes.
We use this for Borderless, our newsletter for global citizens. We love that it has a built-in referral system.

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!

let me tell you, their verification process straight up sucks for users. It's like they don't even care about our convenience, it's just all about giving us a hard time.

Great product, fast and responsive customer service. Great for big audiences (we have 80,000+ subscribers)
One issue: emails are not displayed properly on tablets. Would love to see this issue addressed!

Sorry beehiiv, you're awesome but I've sent 3 support tickets and thus far got zero replies.
Software is great but I've had urgent issues and no support, so if something doesn't work for you, good luck figuring it out yourself.
Also, the email flows/automations are limited to 30 day time frames, so we can't import our flows and are currently paying for 2 softwares.
