What's included

Max-tier features at every level.

No upsell ladder. The $29 tier gets the same engine as Enterprise.

Own-domain branding

DKIM, SPF, and DMARC all align to your domain. Sends look 100% like they came from your brand because they did.

Unlimited publications

Run one newsletter or fifty under one account. Beehiiv Max caps at 10. Scale caps at 3.

Cold opt-in (gated)

Available on every tier. Isolated acquisition domain so your main brand reputation stays clean.

List cleaning at ingest

MillionVerifier runs on every import. Catch-all and disposable addresses get dropped before they touch your domain.

Automatic domain warmup

List-size-aware ramp from 2% to 100% over 12 days. You don't manage it.

A/B subject testing

Variant rollout to a slice, winner picked by open rate, auto-sent to the rest. Built in, not bolted on.

Advanced segmentation

Engagement-based, mail-client-based, interest graph, last-open windows. No "Pro" tier required.

MCP server

Talk to your newsletter from Claude or Cursor. Draft, schedule, query analytics, all through the assistant.

Self-host option

Bring your own Resend or SES key. Deploy to your own Fly or AWS. Your data never touches a third-party SaaS DB.

Add-ons

Optional, à la carte.

Only buy what you actually want. No mandatory setup fees, no minimums.

White-glove migration from Beehiiv · $199 one-time

We export your archive, rewrite custom HTML for our renderer, import contacts with consent metadata preserved, and run a side-by-side test broadcast against your old setup so you can verify deliverability before flipping over.

Setup + list clean + onboarding · $99 one-time

If you want us to run the onboarding command, register your domains in Resend, and walk you through the 3 DNS records. The cleaning itself is included in every tier; this is for the hand-holding.

Dedicated IP · $50 / mo pass-through

Only relevant above 50,000 subscribers with sustained 2x weekly sends. Isolates your IP reputation from the shared pool. Resend or SES, depending on tier.

Agency white-label · custom, starts at $499 / mo

Unlimited client workspaces under one bill. Your branding, your support, our infrastructure. Built for 1956 US LLC originally, available to any agency.

FAQ

Common questions.

Why is the 50k - 100k tier more expensive than Beehiiv Max?

Honest answer: Beehiiv subsidizes their biggest customers with their smaller customers. We don't have that volume yet, so our cost basis catches up at the high end. The premium pays for own-IP isolation and dedicated deliverability ops, which Beehiiv Max doesn't include either. If you're at this scale, the domain ownership and cold opt-in matter more than $130 of monthly delta.

What's the actual backend?

Resend Marketing through 50k contacts (faster onboarding, better DX, similar deliverability). AWS SES for 50k+ subscribers via per-account routing (lower cost basis at scale). Cold opt-in always goes through an isolated Postal instance regardless of tier so your main reputation stays clean.

Do I need to be technical?

To add three DNS records on your domain, yes. To do anything else, no. The platform is a web app. The $99 onboarding add-on covers the DNS step if you want help.

Can I switch back to Beehiiv if it doesn't work out?

Yes. You own your list, your domain, and your archive at all times. Export to CSV, point your domain DNS back at Beehiiv, you're out. We're not interested in lock-in.

Is the cold opt-in legal?

CAN-SPAM compliant by design (verified opt-in confirmation, working unsubscribe, postal address on every send). GDPR requires explicit consent which cold opt-in doesn't provide, so we geo-block EU/UK addresses from the acquisition stream by default. You can disable that if you have a separate legal basis.

What happens at the tier boundaries?

Auto-detected on your active subscriber count. We bump you to the next tier on the first of the month after you cross the line, never retroactively. If you import 50k contacts and then immediately suppress 40k of them, you stay at the lower tier.

How does annual billing work?

Prepay 10 months, get 12. Cancel anytime, unused months refund pro-rated. No annual lock-in tricks.
