Build and send stunning Newsletters for less.

You pay for emails sent, not for subscribers, and paid plans have no contact cap. Multiply your list by the issues you send a month: a weekly letter to 15,000 subscribers is about 65,000 emails, which fits the $30 Starter plan (75,000 emails a month). If a month runs over, sending continues at $1 per 1,000 emails for up to 25% more, then pauses. The free plan sends 5,000 emails a month and stores 10,000 contacts, enough to verify your domain and send test issues. See pricing

No. Kit is free up to 10,000 subscribers and beehiiv up to 2,500, so a small list costs nothing there. And we charge per email: a daily letter sends seven times the emails of a weekly one, while Kit and beehiiv charge the same for any schedule. Above 10,000 subscribers, a weekly letter costs less here than on Kit, Mailchimp, beehiiv, MailerLite or Klaviyo at every size on the slider, and a twice-weekly one usually does. A daily letter costs more here than on Kit at every size, and more than on beehiiv at most.

For sending, yes. You schedule and send issues from your own domain, with unlimited contacts on paid plans. beehiiv also hosts a website for your letter and runs paid subscriptions. Unitpost does neither, so if you rely on them, stay on beehiiv. If you send a free letter and the bill is the problem, a weekly list of 15,000 subscribers is $199 a month on beehiiv Lite billed monthly and $30 here. Unitpost vs beehiiv

Kit is built for creators, with hosted forms and sequences, and it's free up to 10,000 subscribers. Unitpost prices campaigns per email instead of per subscriber, and it has no hosted forms or sequences yet. Past Kit's free plan, 15,000 subscribers cost $169 a month on Kit Creator billed monthly, against $30 here for a weekly letter. Unitpost vs Kit

For a newsletter, yes. Mailchimp prices by contacts and counts unsubscribed contacts toward the limit, so a list of 15,000 is $180 a month on Essentials at the regular price. Unitpost charges for the emails you send, and unsubscribed contacts cost nothing. Mailchimp has landing pages and automation flows, which Unitpost doesn't. Unitpost vs Mailchimp

Yes, for free. Paste an API key from Kit, beehiiv, Mailchimp, MailerLite or Klaviyo in Settings → Migration, preview what moves, then import: subscribers with their names, custom fields and unsubscribed status, their tags, groups or lists, and drafts and recent issues as templates. Kit, beehiiv, Mailchimp and MailerLite keys can't be limited to reading, so we only read with yours, and you can delete it there afterwards. Klaviyo lets you create a read-only key. beehiiv asks you to verify your identity before it shows the API key button. MailerLite accounts opened before March 2022 (MailerLite Classic) use an older API, so export those as a CSV. Subscribers who unsubscribed stay unsubscribed, and an import never clears an opt-out. Each platform's migration guide lists exactly what comes over. Prefer help? Book a call and we do it with you. Automations stay behind. How migration works

Yes. You verify your domain, or a subdomain such as news.yourdomain.com, with the DKIM, SPF and DMARC records we give you, then send from any address on it. Your current platform keeps sending until the records verify, so there is no gap between the two. Domain setup

No. There is no paywall or subscription billing. A paid newsletter can keep its payment tool, add paying subscribers over the API with a custom field such as plan, and send paid issues to a segment built on that field.

No. There is no hosted site, public archive of past issues, signup form or referral program; Unitpost is the sending side. Add subscribers from your own site's form with one API call (POST /v1/contacts), or import them. If you need a hosted archive or referrals, beehiiv and Ghost do those. Contacts API

Automations are coming, and we don't have a date to share. Today you send campaigns, now or scheduled, to a segment or a topic. A welcome email can go out from your own signup code through the send API the moment someone subscribes.
