What's actually different.

Where FlackEmail is better

  • Sequences, automations, and transactional email built in — not just broadcasts.
  • Bundle includes landing pages, forms, CRM, and support tickets.
  • Flat $99 covers unlimited subscribers, not just one newsletter.
  • No upsell to a higher tier to unlock basic API access.
  • Built for founders shipping products, not creators selling subscriptions.

Where Beehiiv is better

  • Best-in-class newsletter editor and reading experience.
  • Ad network pays publishers for placements they'd run anyway.
  • Built-in premium subscriptions and paywall support.
  • Referral programs that meaningfully grow lists.
  • Generous free tier up to 2,500 subscribers.

Switch in 15 minutes.

  1. Export your subscribers from Beehiiv (Settings > Audience > Export).
  2. Import to FlackEmail (drag and drop CSV).
  3. Recreate any automated welcome flow — most beehiiv users only run one or two, so this is usually a 20-minute job.

Honest answers.

I run a paid newsletter. Should I switch?

Probably not. Beehiiv's paid subscription product, ad network, and referral programs are purpose-built for that business model. We don't have a paywall or an ad network.

Can I import my existing newsletter archive?

Subscriber lists yes, historical post archives no. If you need a public, indexable post archive, Beehiiv does that better. We focus on the sending side.

What about the referral program?

We don't have one yet. Beehiiv's referral product genuinely grows lists. If that's a core acquisition channel for you, factor it in.

Stop paying for email. Start using it.

No credit card. No demo call. Five minutes from now you're sending.
