HeyNews now has a lower-priced plan for creators who publish at a smaller cadence.
Yearly billing still saves 30% on every plan.
The signup payment step now starts from Hobbyist, so the trial preview matches the new entry plan. Settings > Subscription shows all four plans, including the new yearly Hobbyist price and the updated issue, revision, and publication limits.
If you use add-ons, HeyNews now compares your add-on spend against the new plan lineup and suggests an upgrade when a higher plan is a better value.
AI Writers now show the past-issue sources they learned from, including how many issues each source added and where it sits in the import and training process.
If you have older issues from another platform, a public archive, or a CSV export, use Add more past issues from the AI Writers page. Support reviews the request and adds approved history to the same newsletter, so your current AI Writers keep working while more examples are added.
Content Desk is easier to use when you're picking stories for an issue. You can select stories directly from Stories, send them to Compose, and use Select all / Deselect all inside a source group when you want every visible story from that source.
Sources also show clearer feed status, so you can tell whether HeyNews is checking a source normally or whether it needs attention.
When HeyNews reads links from connected beehiiv, Kit, or archive issues, it can now recognize sites and public profiles it already knows. That keeps duplicate source checks down and helps the same source feed the right newsletter.
