Name the job before the brand
Kit, MailerLite, and beehiiv all publish a free broadcast path. A move is only useful when a named job on the current sender is missing: timed sequences, a subscriber ceiling, or a paid-plan feature you can point to on the vendor page.
This article does not rank tools. On 2026-09-15 the Max trial editor returned an in-app Test email sent receipt for an operator message to this publication's own address. Inbox placement was not opened. Prices below were recaptured on 2026-09-15 and can change at checkout.
| Job | Published beehiiv note | Keep current if |
|---|---|---|
| Subscriber broadcasts | Launch listed $0, up to 2,500 subscribers on https://www.beehiiv.com/pricing | The current free sender already delivers the list. |
| Paid growth features | FAQ on the same page: paid plans start at $49/month. Scale displayed $43/mo billed annually ($517/year). | You cannot name the paid feature you would use. |
| Affiliate terms | Partner page: 50% of referred paid fees for 12 months, up to 60% by tier, $15,000 cap per referral. | You are choosing a sender for the reader, not for a publisher commission. |
What this page does not establish
Deliverability, editor quality, and migration effort are unverified. The operator test is an in-app send receipt, not those results. Kit enrollment remains pending separately and is not a beehiiv result.
Skip or pause a paid beehiiv plan when the current sender already covers broadcasts. Confirm the live checkout for your subscriber count before paying.

Watch on YouTubeQuestions before you decide
Does a higher affiliate percentage make beehiiv the better email tool?
No. Commission terms are not a product recommendation. Compare the published plan limits and the actual invoice for the list size you have.
Have you tested beehiiv sending?
Yes. One operator test email was sent on 2026-09-15 to this publication's own address from the beehiiv Max trial editor. That is not a list send, inbox-placement study, or paid-plan test. Pricing notes below remain documentation research recaptured 2026-09-15.
