beehiiv is the better newsletter platform, with a website, ads, referrals, and 0% on paid subscriptions. Eden's emails come with a store that sells courses, coaching, calls, and Custom AI, so they start on a purchase, skip people who already bought, and bring back people who left checkout. Pick beehiiv to grow and earn from a publication. Pick Eden if your emails exist to sell your own products, or keep beehiiv and connect it to Eden.
Starts on what they did. Someone buys or claims a product, signs up on your page, gets a tag from a quiz, or their membership ends.
Stops pitching buyers. Set what the sequence sells. Anyone who buys it leaves, and any email can skip people who own a product or already clicked.
beehiiv has purchase triggers too. Automations from Lite can start on a product or paid subscription purchase, with up to 10 live on Lite and no cap on Pro.
The whole store. Courses with lessons, downloads, coaching packages, paid calls on your Google Calendar, memberships, and a Custom AI people can talk to.
Checkout recovery built in. People who type their email at checkout and don't buy get a reminder an hour later. Buying stops it.
beehiiv sells to readers. Paid subscriptions and digital products at 0%, with order bumps, upsells, webinars, and coaching on Pro.
Six ready-made sequences. Welcome, Free to paid, Upsell, Abandoned checkout, Ask for testimonials, and Win back, or start blank.
Or let the AI write it. Pick the product it sells and the AI drafts every email for 10 credits.
beehiiv grows the list. A website, an ad network, subscriber referrals, and recommendations from Lite. Eden has none of these.
Money next to opens. Every broadcast and every sequence email shows sent, opened, clicked, and dollars earned from your store.
Nothing to set up. Eden sends from its own address, so there is no domain to set up. It checks uploaded addresses and handles unsubscribes.
beehiiv tests more. A/B tests and custom domains from Lite.
Checked October 1, 2026. A dash means the tool does not do it.
Based on published product information. Features and prices can change.
If the newsletter is the business, with ads, sponsors, referrals, and paid subscriptions, beehiiv is the better tool.
If your emails exist to sell your own courses, downloads, and coaching, Eden's emails come with the store and know who bought what. You can keep beehiiv connected for your publication.
Keep your publication on beehiiv. Connect beehiiv in Integrations. Buyers and signups from your store land in beehiiv too, and Eden's emails handle the sales.
Or import your buyers. Upload them in Customers. Only import people who bought from you or agreed to hear from you. Imported people get broadcasts, not sequences.
Your first big send goes in stages. 500 emails, then 5,000 an hour later, then everyone, once bounces and spam reports look fine.

For the email alone, beehiiv costs a little less and takes 0% on sales. Eden's price includes your store, courses, coaching, and calls.
For emails that sell your own products, yes: broadcasts, sequences that start on a purchase, and checkout recovery. For a publication with a website, ads, referrals, and paid subscriptions, beehiiv does far more. You can connect beehiiv to Eden and use both.
For the email alone, no. Automations cost $139 a month on beehiiv Lite at 10,000 people ($119 billed yearly), and sequences cost $158 on Eden Pro. beehiiv is also free up to 2,500 and takes 0% on sales, where Eden takes 5%.

Yes. Connect beehiiv in Your store → Integrations. Buyers, free claims, and page signups are added to beehiiv.
No. Eden sells courses, downloads, coaching, calls, memberships, and Custom AI, but it has no paid newsletter or web archive. beehiiv and Substack are built for that.
Broadcasts, sequences that know who bought, and checkout recovery, inside your store.
