Buttondown vs. Beehiiv

If you're looking for a platform to send emails and grow your newsletter, you've probably come across Beehiiv, the 'newsletter platform built for growth'. They just raised a bunch of money and have invested heavily in tooling around growth, like:

• "Boosts", a peer-to-peer marketplace for jumpstarting paid subscriber acquisition
• An advertiser acquisition network
• AI-powered writing assistants

Buttondown does not have these features; Buttondown will likely never have these features. Our goal is to focus on the core making the act of writing great emails and managing a subscriber list as easy as possible — which means, of course: support for segmentation through tags and metadata, automations for drip sequences and rescue sequences, and a rich API-first developer platform for you to hook up the other apps in your orbit when you need to.
