How Beehiiv and ClickFunnels compare

Beehiiv treats a newsletter like a media business. Referral programs, Boosts and recommendations, an ad network, paid subscriptions, automations, segmentation, a website with SEO, and deep analytics are all pointed at one thing: growing and monetising a list. Operators who think in subscriber counts and CPMs love it.

ClickFunnels wrote the playbook on the sales funnel, and the 2.0 platform still does that job better than most: unlimited funnels on every plan, one-click upsells and order bumps, Smart Checkout, A/B tests, countdown timers, and templates built by people who sell for a living. Around the funnel it has grown a site and blog, courses, a store, email, automations, a CRM with pipelines, and MessageHub for conversations.
