Insightful as always! Love the points on comparison pages, Beehiv and webflow's comparison pages won the poll for me.
I have been trying to pick between Beehiv and Substack for my personal newsletter, but I have been having a hard time making a choice. Substack is easy to use, very easy to set up and use. I love the fact that I can type in my phone as a lazy laptop user and someone with severe back pain issues. But at the same time, I love the different themes and multiple features on Beehiv that Substack doesn't offer.
Substack allows you to build an audience easily and create a media kind of personal brand, but Beehiv doesn't really do this in a way. Beehiv serves more as a creator platform in my POV.
Substack serves my long terms goals, Beehiv doesn't. Beehiv helps me save more money, Substack doesn't.
If I am to make a choice today, I guess Substack has it for me as I don't have plans of having a paid newsletter soon.
I think my biggest issue with Beehiv is their authentication page. Each time I visit a Beehiv publication, I get blocked by an authentication page, and it's a real blocker (especially because it has high load times sometimes). A few times, I've abandoned the sites because of it.
Plus, Beehiv only saves you money if you're running a paid newsletter
Great post, thanks for putting this out into the world!
Thank you! Big fan of Olivine
