# beehiiv vs Kit for a paid newsletter: six months in
Canonical: https://sendinsight.co/posts/beehiiv-vs-kit-newsletter

We publish a paid B2B newsletter. Tested beehiiv and Kit (formerly ConvertKit). beehiiv wins on growth tools and ad network. Kit wins on creator CRM and simple automations.

Neither replaces a full ESP for complex lifecycle. We use beehiiv for publishing and Resend for product-triggered mail. Brew tested for sponsor promo drafts, which saved design time.

Pick based on whether you monetize through ads and referrals (beehiiv) or digital products and courses (Kit).
