What the model leaves out
Monthly prices from the pricing page's subscriber slider (bands 1k, 2.5k, 5k, 10k, 25k, 50k, 75k, 100k for Lite; Pro continues to 150k, 200k, 250k). Yearly billing saves up to 20%: Lite $49–$399/mo and Pro $95–$869/mo billed yearly. Pro ($109 at 1k up to $699 at 100k monthly) is omitted below 100k — same subscribers as Lite at a higher price, with more features (no branding, 10 seats, webhooks). Unlimited email sends on every plan. Above 250k is Enterprise.
- Paid subscriptions, ads and automations start on Lite; the Free plan can't charge readers.
- beehiiv takes 0% of paid subscription and digital product revenue, but Stripe's 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction still applies.
- Lite stops at 100,000 subscribers and Pro at 250,000; beyond that is Enterprise (contact sales).
- The headline prices ($49 Lite, $95 Pro) are per month billed yearly; month-to-month is higher.
