Alternative to Beehiiv: Hyax
Beehiiv is a great newsletter tool. But newsletters are one piece of a content business. Hyax gives you the newsletter, the website, products, courses, community, help desk, and AI. All for flat pricing that doesn't grow with your list.
Pricing at a glance
Beehiiv's Scale plan on monthly billing starts around $113/mo at 10k subscribers on the slider, up to $284/mo at 100k, mid-step dots estimated between tiers. Their free plan caps growth and monetization. Hyax is $29/mo flat with everything included.
Hyax email cost (optional)
Assumes ~40,000 sends/mo (4 sends to your full list per month). Pick one, /pricing for Resend vs plan caps.
Beehiiv: Scale plan, monthly billing. Free Launch plan capped at 2,500 subs with no monetization, no automations, no A/B testing.
Hyax:Starter plan ($29/mo). Monthly billing, flat pricing, unlimited contacts, 0% platform fees. Does not include raw Resend charges when you use your own API key for unlimited sending. See pricing for email limits and plan caps.
Showing the Starter subscription only ($29/mo). About 40,000 sends/mo is above Starter's included platform sending, so this comparison does not include the email cost of that workload.
