Frequently Asked Questions

Is beehiiv free to use?

Yes. beehiiv's Launch plan is free, forever, with no credit card required. You get up to 2,500 subscribers, unlimited email sends, and access to beehiiv's core newsletter, website, and podcast tools. When you're ready to unlock monetization, advanced analytics, AI tools, and more, paid plans start at $49/month.

What is the difference between beehiiv Scale and beehiiv Max plans?

Both plans include unlimited email sends, automations, the beehiiv Ad Network, paid subscription tools, digital products, and advanced analytics. Max adds several key upgrades: the ability to remove beehiiv branding from your newsletter and website, dynamic content, priority support, and up to 10 publications per account (vs. 3 on Scale). If a white-label experience, advanced features, and faster support matter to your operation, Max is the step up worth taking.

Does beehiiv charge extra for email sends?

No. All beehiiv plans, including the free Launch plan, include unlimited email sends. You're never penalized for sending more frequently or for emailing your full list.
