    Based on the analysis I made of various newsletter providers, beehiiv is the most suited for high-growth ones. If you ever plan or try to grow to 200k users, beehiiv has the best cost/value ratio.

    It is perfect for artists and content creators. It is perfect for service based providers who want to house their potential leads. Entry level entrepreneurs can also benefit. It is not an all in one type of platform, but it is useful for list building and setting up automation. If you have less than 1K subscribers, this is the route to go until you need to use automation. Then, just feel free to upgrade.

    • I think the dashboard could benefit form allowing more customization
    • The way you format email templates is pretty limited
    • The saved footer options seems glitchy. I can never get it to work right.

    Can be summed up in three words that 'It just Works'. Crafted for creators and artists in mind, it offers all they need for start building up list. Free tier is really a good move to test out stuff. I am staying with them considering their good email delivery and simple interface and easy integration with our website software. WYSIYG Editor, Standard reporting but not deep level analytics gives all the basic tools needed to support the business.

    I found beehiiv the best suited for growth. The pricing model for other providers means your costs go up faster and steeper than with beehiiv.

    The other products I have used are not available on TrustRadius. I used ConvertKit before I used these other products because I need an all in one platform.
