The short version

  • Only Revue has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Chartbeat pricing is customized by website and native app pageviews across four tiers, Essentials, Plus, Premium and Enterprise, and the pricing page publishes no figures, directing visitors to Talk to Sales or Get a Demo; Revue revue (the newsletter tool, at getrevue.co, not the unrelated revue.com photography magazine) was acquired by Twitter and shut down in January 2023; the Internet Archive's capture of getrevue.co on 3 January 2021 shows it was an editorial newsletter platform used by Vox Media, FastCompany and VentureBeat with subscription, sponsorship and ad-based monetization tools, sold via demo request.
  • They diverge on capability: Chartbeat covers Real-time analytics, Revue covers Newsletter creation.
