Run a paid newsletter on beehiiv

Paid subscriptions turn regular readers into recurring revenue. beehiiv lets you create several tiers, such as a monthly All Access plan beside a yearly club plan, each with its own perks.

You choose what stays free and what sits behind the paywall, and you can share a preview that nudges readers to upgrade. Offer monthly, annual or pay-what-you-want pricing, and add free trials, discounts or gift subscriptions.

Payments go through Stripe with automatic renewals. beehiiv takes 0% of paid subscription revenue, so what leaves your income is Stripe's 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction.

Paid subscriptions begin on the Lite plan, since Free does not include them. Lite also adds automations and A/B testing, which help with welcome emails and upgrade prompts.

Your first Lite plan gets 20% off for its first three months. That makes the opening quarter cheaper while you test pricing and paywall placement.
