  • Metered Paywall

    Reached out to support and got a fast reply.

  • Perfect for magazine publishers

    Very straightforward paywall plugin that integrates with several circulation fulfillment providers in the publishing market. Most other paywalls have no idea how to integrate and work with the kind of circulation fulfillment companies that magazine publishers use. But this plugin does ... I've used it with three different circ companies thus far. It works very well and can do the authentication of subscribers through the circulation fulfillment provider's API. I have used this to launch three different paywalls now generating well over $200,000 in annual subscriber revenue. Highly recommended.
