beehiiv is the dynamic and modern alternative to Mailchimp, focused on newsletter growth and monetization.
but don’t just take our word
Here's The Dink's story

@thedink
On beehiiv we immediately upgraded the aesthetic of our newsletter, launched a referral program, and starting driving meaningful engagement via 1-click audience polls.
beehiiv is best for
- Content-focused newsletters and publications
- All-in-one solution for website, email, data analytics, and growth tools
- Ownership of your audience and custom aesthetic
- Affordable flat-rate pricing that favors growing creators and companies
- Enterprise-level solutions made simple and accessible to everyone
Mailchimp is good for
- One-off email blasts
- Promotional or e-commerce emails
- Small businesses offering online or in-person services

We launched The Dink on Mailchimp in 2020, and quickly realized it wasn't a long-term solution for us. It was overcomplicated and we ended up needing to use a ton of external tools to accomplish relatively simple things.
