beehiiv has a permanent free plan up to 2,500 subscribers with unlimited sends, where Moosend offers only a 30-day trial and prices by contacts.

Full profile

Moosend

Best for low-cost ecommerce and transactional email

Moosend starts at $9/mo versus beehiiv's $43, and adds two things beehiiv lacks: transactional email via API and SMTP relay, plus ecommerce flows with abandoned-cart, product recommendations, and revenue tracking. The better fit for online stores and senders needing receipts or password resets on a tight budget.
