Why We Chose an Integration Over a Native Solution

By partnering with a specialized platform, we provide you with a more robust, full-featured solution for creating and managing newsletters. This ensures that you have access to advanced tools and features without the added complexity or limitations of a native build.

Moreover, opting for an integration helps us keep the cost of the Honeycommb platform down. Instead of reinventing the wheel, we’re focusing on what we do best—empowering you to build thriving communities—while leveraging beehiiv’s expertise in email marketing. It’s a win-win for everyone!
