Who each tool is for
Beehiiv
Default
Best for: Consultants building thought leadership through newsletters with built-in growth and monetization features.
Why pick it: Referral programs and a recommendations network grow your list organically. Monetization — paid subscriptions, an ad network, and digital products — lets you earn from your newsletter directly. And it now consolidates newsletter, website, and podcast in one place.
Watch for: If you need advanced automation and CRM-style segmentation, Kit (ConvertKit) or ActiveCampaign offer deeper workflow builders.
Miro
Default
Best for: Consultants running strategy workshops, brainstorming sessions, and framework exercises with clients.
Why pick it: 5,000+ templates cover every major consulting framework out of the box. Real-time collaboration with voting, timers, and private brainstorming mode prevents groupthink, and Miro AI can draft boards and summaries from a prompt.
Watch for: Overkill for simple note-taking or async document collaboration. Use Notion if you need a knowledge base, not a whiteboard.
