The short version

  • Only Beehiiv has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Beehiiv platform lacks native SMS support; requires third-party integrations via API or webhooks; EIN Presswire sold as prepaid release credits that expire 365 days after purchase, so unused releases are lost rather than carried
  • They diverge on capability: Beehiiv covers Newsletter creation, EIN Presswire covers Press release distribution.
