Beware of Beehiiv – A Genuinely Awful Experience
If you're considering Beehiiv, I urge you to think twice. I made the mistake of trusting them while building a newsletter for my 14,000 subscribers, only to be met with disappointment and frustration. After paying for a full account and verifying my identity and credentials, they blocked me from importing my subscriber list. The logic here is baffling. If you already have a list, does Beehiiv expect you to start from scratch? This ridiculous restriction completely defeats the purpose of using their service. Before signing up, I wish I had read the reviews more carefully. Look past the obviously fake, overly positive ones and focus on the overwhelming number of genuine 1-star reviews. These speak volumes about how bad their service truly is. It feels like they’re using fake reviews as damage control to “freshen up” their poor reputation, but the truth is out there. This isn't just a bad experience—it’s a scam waiting to be revealed. Mark my words: Beehiiv’s shortcomings will be exposed in 2025. Don’t make the same mistake I did by trusting them. This will go down as one of the worst decisions you can make for your newsletter business. Save yourself the frustration and find a platform that truly supports its users.

"After paying for a full account and verifying my identity and credentials, they blocked me from importing my subscriber list." We require additional verification that you received consent for subscriber lists above 10,000 - we don't block users from importing. Did you go through that process? To a T, the 1-start reviews are users that we've blocked for spam, scams, and phishing.
