Newsletter platform built by Morning Brew alumni
Beehiiv is newsletters from people who actually scaled one. Founded by Tyler Denk who was employee #2 at Morning Brew and helped grow it to 3.5M subs before the $75M exit. The referral system and ad network are built-in, not bolted on.
Pros
- Built-in referral system that actually drives subscriber growth
- Ad network lets you monetize before you have enough subs for sponsorships
- Analytics show you open rates, click rates, and revenue per subscriber
Cons
- Free tier limits you to 2,500 subscribers with Beehiiv branding
- Jump from free to $42/month is steep: no affordable middle tier
