beehiiv is a newsletter and publishing platform for independent creators and media companies. It combines newsletters with a website and podcast, and it takes no cut of paid subscription and digital product revenue; creators pay only Stripe’s processing fees.
beehiiv’s growth tools include a referral program, Recommendations, pop-ups and email gates. With the referral program, you set milestones and pick physical or digital rewards, share a unique referral link, and beehiiv tracks referrals and hands out digital rewards automatically. Physical rewards such as merchandise may need to be fulfilled by hand. beehiiv lists paid subscriptions, ads through its Ad Network and paid recommendations as ways to earn, though paid subscriptions and ad monetization need a paid plan, and a central dashboard tracks clicks, engagement and other key metrics.
beehiiv’s enterprise page speaks to companies turning content into pipeline, newsrooms and newsletter-first businesses. Business teams can use a newsletter to own the audience relationship, turn content into pipeline and feed newsletter data into the systems they already run. Publishers can earn from advertising, paid subscriptions or digital products, with publishing, audience growth and analytics kept in one platform.
Developers can use beehiiv’s API, which relies on token-based authentication, and the Pro and Enterprise plans add webhooks that sync subscriber data as events happen. No-code tools such as Zapier and Make connect beehiiv to other apps, including CRMs and analytics platforms, and documentation is available for developers. Content can be pulled from WordPress through RSS or the API. For enterprise moves, beehiiv works with your technical team to bring over subscribers, templates and data, and its deliverability experts help warm up domains and test before launch.
