Save more as you grow
Most platforms charge more as your audience grows. Hyax is flat pricing — the same price whether you have 1,000 or 100,000 subscribers.
Hyax email cost (optional)
Shown Hyax total assumes ~60,000 sends/mo (4 sends to your full list per month). Pick one add-on — you typically use either your own Resend key or Hyax platform sending, not both. See /pricing for plan caps.
Ghost: Publisher plan, monthly billing (mid-steps estimated between Ghost tiers)
Kit: Newsletter plan: $0/mo up to 10k (limits). 15k+ is Creator, pay monthly (vs annual); mid-steps estimated between Kit’s tiers.
Beehiiv: Scale plan, monthly billing (mid-steps estimated between beehiiv tiers)
Intercom: Monthly billing — illustrative team seat totals scaled to audience (no email marketing)
Kajabi: Growth plan (~$199/mo monthly) — flat tier, not priced per email subscriber; slider is illustrative.
Podia: Shaker-style tier (~$119/mo monthly) — flat; not list-size-based; slider is illustrative.
Circle: Mid business/community tier (~$179/mo monthly) — email is digests & broadcasts, not a full ESP; flat vs list.
MailerLite: Growing Business / Advanced-style monthly billing — mid-steps estimated vs subscriber count; check mailerlite.com.
Hyax: Starter plan ($29/mo), monthly billing, flat pricing, unlimited contacts, 0% platform fees. Does not include raw Resend charges when you use your own API key for unlimited sending — see pricing for email limits and overage.
