What's better for newsletter+blog? Substack or Beehiiv?
I am considering starting a newsletter+blog on one of the platforms created just for this purpose. Main goals would be to give much more visibility than today to all my activities, not just the newsletter, and of course make some extra money if possible.
After some research, Substack and Beehiiv seem the best candidates, but I am not sure yet, and there may be others.
Ideally, I would need a platform that:
0. supports paid subscriptions
1. supports comments
2. has no *fixed* costs
3. allows *migrating* every post to a personal blog, after a month or so, leaving in the platform just a message like "this post is now available <here>
4. lets me say below each post or email "I also do other stuff, and you can support that other with donations"
IIUC, ONLY Substack checks the first 3 marks, but (even AFTER reading their Publisher Agreement) I am not sure if it allows n. 4 or not.
Every feedback is welcome, including pointers to other platforms that I may have missed!
Thanks!
