What You're Getting
Write, design, and publish newsletters in one place. Beehiiv's editor is built for creators — not marketers. Clean formatting, referral programs, and a custom web portal included.
Referral programs, recommendation network, boosts, and subscriber analytics all built in without extra cost. Most platforms charge separately for growth features that Beehiiv includes by default.
Paid subscriptions, Beehiiv Ad Network, and premium content gating built in. No Stripe integrations needed. Start monetising on day one if you have an audience.
In the Stack
AI Email Growth System — Primary Platform
Beehiiv is the backbone of the DSHQ email system. The newsletter lives here, subscriber data is managed here, and all lead magnets opt into Beehiiv lists. Make automations connect Beehiiv to the rest of the stack — new subscribers trigger welcome sequences, Notion updates trigger content drafts, and analytics flow into tracking dashboards.
Important: DSHQ has retired all previous email platforms. Beehiiv is the only email tool in the stack. If you see references to other platforms elsewhere online, they are outdated.
DSHQ Verdict
If you're building a creator-first newsletter, Beehiiv is the platform. Start free and upgrade only when your list justifies it.
