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.

Transistor

Transistor is a podcast hosting platform that distributes episodes to Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and other directories from a single dashboard. It suits independent creators, agencies, and companies running more than one show, since all plans include unlimited podcasts. The analytics are clean and honest, though they stop short of the granular listener-behavior data that some larger platforms offer.
