I reviewed all of them and settled on Beehiiv—best at growth and monetization out of the box. But Mirror/Paragraph clearly have better web3 function (NFT gating, etc) and Substack has great embedded community.

Beehiiv over Substack for ease of use, design and analytics; your own distribution is the same (via newsletters) but Substack has more community. Wordpress remains great for blogging but the newsletter tool isn't as good as Beehiiv.
