How Beehiiv and Tertulia 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.

Tertulia for Authors is a website built around the books. Enter an ISBN or ASIN and it imports the covers, descriptions, reviews, and buy links, then adds a blog, an events calendar, and a mailing list. Pro adds direct sales and newsletters. That is real strength. If the site should come from the catalog instead of a blank page, Tertulia is built for exactly that.

Where they are different

Choose Beehiiv when your newsletter is the business and growth loops and ad revenue are the plan.

Choose Tertulia when the center of the work is the book catalog: imported pages, retailer links, events, a reader magnet, and direct ebook, audiobook, print, and merchandise sales with no Tertulia commission.
