Beehiiv is a genuinely good platform. But it takes 2.9% of every dollar your paid subscribers send you — forever. Plus there are features Beehiiv doesn't have at all. InfluencersKit has both, at 0%.

This is the fee on top of Stripe. It compounds as your newsletter grows.
Beehiiv fee is their 2.9% platform charge only. Stripe payment processing (2.9% + $0.30) applies on both platforms equally.
Beehiiv has genuine strengths. These are the gaps — the things that matter when monetisation is your primary goal.
Beehiiv takes 2.9% of every paid subscription payment — on top of Stripe's fees. At $5,000/month in newsletter revenue that's $145/month, $1,740/year, leaving your pocket. InfluencersKit charges 0%. Every cent your subscribers pay goes to you.
Beehiiv requires 2,500 subscribers before you can access their ad network. InfluencersKit enables programmatic ads from your very first send. For creators building from scratch, that's weeks or months of monetisation you're leaving on the table.
Beehiiv doesn't have a dedicated sponsorship dashboard. Direct sponsorships — often the highest-CPM channel for newsletter creators — get managed in spreadsheets or Notion. InfluencersKit gives you a full sponsor tracking and analytics dashboard, built in.
Beehiiv's 3D analytics dashboard is genuinely impressive. But it's optimised for growth metrics, not revenue metrics. InfluencersKit shows paid subscription MRR, ad revenue, and sponsorship income in the same view — because that's what matters when you're running a business.
Similar pricing at most tiers — but InfluencersKit never takes a cut of what you earn.
