What beehiiv actually costs
The monthly figure at that many contacts, which is what beehiiv charges by. Same engine the shortlist quiz uses, so these cannot disagree with it.

Priced by subscriber bucket, not a slider: Lite is sold up to 100,000 subscribers and Pro up to 250,000, with every bucket published; Enterprise is custom at any size. Free is a real plan at $0 for up to 2,500 subscribers with unlimited sends, no card. Every plan sends unlimited emails. beehiiv takes 0% of paid-subscription revenue (Stripe's 2.9% + 30c still applies). Monthly figures are billed monthly; annual_monthly_usd is the per-month figure when paying yearly. 14-day trial of Pro features on a new account. Plan names on the page are now Free, Lite, Pro and Enterprise (the brief's Launch, Scale and Max are the old names; the page's data keys still read launch, grow, scale).

Who it suits
Built for: A writer or publisher whose product is the newsletter itself and who wants paid subscriptions, a referral programme, an ad network and a website in one place without a cut of the revenue.
Weak at: The first paid step is $59 a month at 1,000 subscribers and there is no SMS, transactional email or store integration listed, so it is not a cheap general email tool for a business list.
