What they are
Beehiiv
Newsletter platform with built-in growth tools: paid recommendation network, ad marketplace, native referral programs, and built-in monetisation. Founded by ex-Morning Brew operators.
Patreon
Patreon is a membership platform where creators charge fans a monthly or per-creation fee in exchange for exclusive content, community access, or perks. Podcasters, artists, writers, and video creators use it to build a predictable income stream outside ad revenue. It takes a percentage cut of earnings rather than charging an upfront fee, which makes entry easy but gets expensive at scale.
