i have been using beehive for a a while now it has been upgraded a lot now in these 3-4 months gradually
before it has limited features and mosstly are paid but now it has optimized a lot and given too many new features to try along
loving it now
Not a very good impression of this company. Asks for personal details - second name, then phone number, then ID - all before I've even started on the platform. Trust is earned, it's not given. I will pause my operations with them for the time being. Any newbies expect to be interrogated.
I really appreciate being invited to the webinars. I just finished the one about automating your subscriber growth hosted by Connor Gallagher. He is a great communicator with an awesome friendly demeanor.
Beehiiv.'s doing the legwork for the future of networking, fielding the required outer Data platforms, for The Newsletter$ to be known for their weightier posts, the substantial, the sustainable, the money making news, that's the news that being here inspires.🐝
This is a great & powerful tool for a variety of companies & projects!
This is a great & powerful tool for many companies looking to reach an audience & for those who are unafraid of writing a little bit! As the CEO & Lead Developer of my company I have only begun to explore all Beehiiv has to offer but I am loving the platforms easy usability & it allows me to kinda avoid my emails- I update the community with style & for a company like mine Beehiiv has been a great addition, thanks team! (*Ant)
We are using Beehiiv for emails only - It is easy to use - the main problem was uploading our initial email list - It was from an excel spreadsheet - we could only upload few a time so it was a very long process and quite frustrating - the other issue is that often our bulk emails go into recipients spam .... other than that Beehiiv suits our needs at the present time
I've been a Beehiiv user since early 2025, when I made the leap from Kit. I was looking for a solution that would allow me to have a newsletter + "blog" + website all in one ... and avoid the hassle of posting on WP. It's been awesome to see how far the product has come, even in the couple years I've been a part of their journey. Now I can even sell products and/or offer freebies through Beehiiv, eliminating even MORE third party tools. I haven't dipped my toe into Communities (yet), but I definitely see that in my business's future. Keep up the great work, Tyler and team!
I have re4ad a lot of reviews. Also an internet influencer had highly recommend you guys for a newsletter content. will be spending more time developing my
newsletter currently. as of today.
Do not deploy mission-critical distribution assets or high-volume subscriber pipelines on Beehiiv without dedicated legal indemnity and sovereign data mirroring. Our infrastructure was subjected to immediate, arbitrary operational termination with zero warning, zero diagnostic transparency, and an automated refusal of human compliance triage.

An hour after I paid $44 per month for Scale, I went back to the Beehiiv home page where Scale is $34. Waiting three hours for it to go down to $4, then I'll cancel my account and start over.

I really needed to see someone walk me through the basics.
I really needed to see someone walk through the basics. I started my publication a few months ago and just went for it. The platform is really easy to use, but I knew there were things that I missed or didn't understand how to use. Today's session helped clarify a lot of it.

Hi Lisa,
Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review. And yes! We were so excited to launch community. Our near-term focus is making sure every part of the product is as intuitive as possible and I'm so excited to see how everyone uses all the new tools to create. Thanks for being a part of the hiiv! -CG
Best platform, best team.
I’ve used a few different newsletters under organizations I’ve worked for but really wanted 1) an intuitive UX that’s 2) catered to various use cases and ideally 3) suitable for creators/independents and Beehiiv has absolutely exceeded my expectations.
I run two newsletters, one for grassroots community function, and the second soon to be for monetizing an owned audience, and I can’t see myself using any other platform.
The real turning point was hitting a bug and being able to reach both Tony and Tyler. Being in a handful of early stage-SMB media/tech teams, I can wholeheartedly say the quick communications make the world of a difference.

Account Blocked Immediately After Payment – No Explanation Provided
I had a very disappointing experience with Beehiiv. I signed up, completed my payment, and shortly afterward my account was blocked without any explanation. I never received a clear reason for the suspension or any information about what policy I had supposedly violated.
It's frustrating to pay for a service and then lose access without transparency or timely communication. If there was an issue with my account, I would have appreciated a clear explanation and an opportunity to resolve it.
Based on my experience, I would advise others to be cautious. A platform that processes payments should also provide clear communication and fair account review procedures when taking actions as serious as blocking a customer's account.
