beehiiv pricing, plan by plan

beehiiv has a Free plan for lists up to 2,500 subscribers and two paid plans, Lite and Pro, priced by the size of your list. At 10,000 subscribers Lite is $139 a month on monthly billing, per beehiiv's pricing page read on October 21, 2026. No plan limits how many emails you send, and beehiiv takes 0% of what readers pay you.

The plans, by list size

The Free plan is $0 up to 2,500 subscribers and unavailable above that. Lite is sold to 100,000 subscribers, Pro to 250,000, and Enterprise is priced on request. The table shows the monthly price of Lite and Pro, billed monthly and billed yearly (a month), at each list size up to 100,000. Yearly billing saves up to 20%, per beehiiv's page.

beehiiv counts a subscriber as a unique subscribed email address. Above 100,000 subscribers only Pro is sold; at 150,000 it is $799 a month on monthly billing.

What each plan includes

• Free has landing pages, the recommendation network and API access at a low rate limit, for one publication and one seat, with 30 days of analytics. It has no automations, paid subscriptions, A/B testing, custom domains, custom HTML, polls or webhooks.
• Lite adds paid subscriptions, 10 live custom automations, A/B testing, polls and custom domains, with 3 webhooks, 3 publications and a standard API rate limit.
• Pro removes beehiiv branding and adds more automations, click-triggered automations, a higher API rate limit, the Send API and priority support.

Fees on paid subscriptions

beehiiv's pricing page says it takes 0% of paid subscription and digital product revenue, on every paid plan. You pay Stripe's processing fees, which are 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction on standard US cards. The Free plan doesn't sell paid subscriptions at all.

The October 2026 price change

PPC Land reported on October 8, 2026, citing The Verge, that beehiiv raised Lite by $30 a month at a list of 10,000 subscribers, and quoted creators who called it frustrating. It also reported that the new prices reach existing monthly customers at their first renewal on or after November 1, 2026, and that annual customers keep their price to the end of their term. We have not seen beehiiv's own announcement, so check your renewal date in your account. The table above shows the prices on beehiiv's page when we read it.
