Which plan to pickStay on Free until you have a few hundred engaged readers; it has everything you need to write and grow. Move to Lite when you want sponsor revenue or paid subscriptions, and to Pro when the beehiiv branding starts to bother you or your brand.Make a few videos on Free to see if the style suits your brand. Starter removes the watermark and is enough for a small store. Check the price at checkout, because Pippit charges different amounts in different countries.
