Beehiiv blocked my account before I even sent a single email, and they did so without providing any specific reason. Their public reply here is extremely generic and misleading. They claim the block was due to a “violation of Terms of Use,” but they never explained what supposedly happened , because nothing happened. I had zero subscribers imported, zero emails sent, and had only just created the account. Instead, they demanded a surprising amount of personal information (Twitter profile, LinkedIn profile, a detailed explanation of my business, my list-cleaning strategy, etc.). In Germany, users are not required to hand over personal social profiles or internal business processes just to use a newsletter tool. Their verification demands went far beyond normal industry practice. This is not a relationship any creator wants to enter, being blocked first, interrogated second. What this means for your future: ❓ What happens when you DO have 1,000+ subscribers and they randomly lock your account? ❓ What if they demand proof of opt-in for subscribers you collected legitimately? You're building a relationship asset. Don't build it on a platform that's already shown they'll pull the rug out unpredictably. For transparency:
I moved my newsletter to another platform. For me it was a huge redflag. Beehiiv’s answer here tries to make it sound like users are always at fault, but in my case, nothing happened except their automated system flagging a brand-new account with no activity. If this is how they treat new creators, people deserve to know.

Support is slow, despite giving them multiple proofs, they still think I am sending cold emails using their platform to my subscriber list of 14,000 people though they are all real subscribers and I consistantly get 40% open rate + I am not stupid enough to use Beehiiv for cold emails using one single sending domain. Support takes 7+ days to respond, despite me being on one of the higher paid plans. Overall, a shitty experience. They were very good when they started, not anymore.

They are the home for a lot of financial scammers. I receive a lot of emails that come from them. These scammers will bomb your inbox all day and if you click on the email, a few minutes later, your receive two more emails. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH BEEHIIV.

This company is complicit in massive amounts of spam. I have reported abuse over 3 times and there has been zero response. They do NOT take anti-spam policies seriously. I will continue to file reports like this across every reputation platform until their leadership take their company and their responsibilities seriously. The CO-Founder is a graduate of Clemson. What a blight on such a great university.

I tried Beehiiv because their platform looked promising, and I genuinely wanted to evaluate its full capabilities. But here’s the problem: the 30-day trial doesn’t give you access to key features — especially Web Builder 2.0, which is the main thing I signed up to test. That lack of access wasn’t clearly disclosed upfront. So I upgraded, realized quickly that it wasn’t what I needed, and reached out to cancel and request a refund. Beehiiv refused, citing a strict “all sales are final” policy — even though I barely used the platform and contacted them well before the next billing cycle. Instead of doing the right thing, they offered platform credit (for a product I already said I won’t be using) and recycled their terms of use as if that excuses everything. I’ve since disputed the charge with my bank and won’t be returning. If you’re considering Beehiiv, be very cautious. Their trial is limited, their refund policy is inflexible, and their support is more interested in protecting revenue than supporting customers.

Beehiiv team keeps sending me promotional emails again and again. I'm really worried about their emails. I've already blocked them, but they still keep sending me messages.

Stay far away from them. They stole my money and my subscribers and locked my account with 0 EXPLANATION. I had been using Beehiiv for 6 months. LOVED IT! Easy UI, etc. Far better than Mailchimp. They kept prompting me to join the Ad Network (super cool). Doesn't pay much, but why not, you know? I did. For a few months it was great, easy, paid veyr little, but again was nice. Built from scratch over 1.1k subscribers. Then got my ad network access revoked. Asked support why, they said they didn't know, was an auto-trigger. Then a month or two later. Got it revoked again. "Irregular subscribers," I asked what that meant. No response (4 days now, still no response). Then they closed my entire account, BUT, get this, they're still charging me for an account they are preventing me from using. I can't access my subscribers, my reports, nothing. They took 6-7 months of me paying the premium tier, all my subscribers, and the subscribers I generated for other newsletter they happily took money for, and the best response was them saying they couldn't tell me the reason why they took everything and blocked my account because of "security reasons". Stay far far away from a company like this and backup everything if you currently use them because they will take it all away for no reason at all. Mind you, I reached out on Reddit, IG, Facebook, Groups, legal, support, direct emails, and only got one very unprofessional email about not being able to give me ANY specific reason for "security reasons". Please don't believe that, there are 0 "security" reasons for them not being honest and transparent around why they ban accounts. And when I finally had someone respond inside the Beehiiv chat (Connor). They seemed nice at first. Then said "can't help me" and that even though I have legal rights to the data I requested, that Beehiiv doesn't have to follow federal law. He also said he's not going to help me anymore because I'm not a paying member. I told him I was, I got charged TODAY, he instead kicked me out of Slack support.

Spam supporters. Beware of regulations, they don't care about them. Gdpr will for sure shut them down, so search for another server for ur web services. We'll, since you replied, I tried contacting you a month ago nobody gave a rat's ass about it, so, from my point of view, you are just acting like you care fighting spam and complying gdpr.
