AI newsletter workflows, $3.1K in 30 days: built for teams
HeyNews brings newsletter voice training, source curation, drafting, editing, and publishing into one workspace. Its $3.1K in the last 30 days is verified through the payment provider's API by TrustMRR (Stripe), as of September 30, 2026.
What it actually sells
The HeyNews newsletter platform learns your style from past issues and brings source curation, drafting, and editing into one workspace. It checks RSS feeds, Reddit, blogs, and social media, scores fresh stories by relevance, and creates drafts with subject lines and preview text.
Creators can ask the AI to rewrite sections, add a hot take, change tone, try subject lines, and search for images without leaving the draft. Direct connections cover beehiiv and Kit, while imports cover Substack, Buttondown, Ghost, Mailchimp, Medium, and public archives.
How it charges
HeyNews has four monthly plans, from Hobbyist at $39/mo to Team at $499/mo. The site says annual billing saves 30%. Plans are structured by newsletter publishing capacity, with the listed pricing starting at Hobbyist and ending at Team.

Where it sits in the data
HeyNews's $3.1K in the last 30 days is higher than 86% of the 5,602 projects with payment-verified revenue in our dataset; the median across them is $150. Within the “News & Magazines” category (38 projects) it is higher than 89% (category median $40). Snapshot: 2026-09-02 to 2026-09-30. The dataset only covers founders who chose to publish their numbers, so it leans toward businesses that work; use it for scale, not as an average.
Currency
All figures are in US dollars as published. A rough yuan or euro conversion is not applied here because prices, taxes and acquisition costs differ by country.
Could you build something like this?
In my view, the buyer would be a creator, publisher, content team, or agency that needs a repeatable newsletter workflow. Distribution would have to come through search, newsletters, blogs, LinkedIn, X / Twitter, cold outreach, communities, affiliates, press, referrals, and word of mouth.
The hard parts would be reliable source monitoring, voice training, publishing integrations, editorial review, and support for different newsletter workflows. Competition and the need to maintain integrations add execution work, but the product surface is clear enough to start with a focused publishing workflow.
Verdict: Needs real work.
One thing to take from it
The clearest product lesson is to package a complete workflow: learn the voice, gather sources, draft the issue, edit it, and connect publishing. HeyNews shows how a narrow workflow can serve creators, publishers, company teams, content teams, and agencies.
