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!
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!

@tyler_denk Makes A/B testing placements actually worth doing now.
The flexibility and customization options—especially with custom fields and advanced styling—make them perfect for serious growth.
Oh! We just finalized some tool! Will check this update too.
