works just fine
We only used the plugin for a short time (we don't have paywalls on our website) but essentially it did everything it should

Klein und fein
Einbinden und fertig, keine Probleme bei uns.

Es tut, was es soll … und das reicht auch
Grundsätzlich ist das Plugin ja nur dazu da, Steady mit der Wordpress-Installation zu verbinden und z. B. die Paywall in Artikeln via Button einzubinden. Das funktioniert auch reibungslos und ohne großartigen Setup-Aufwand.

Technisch macht es das, was es soll
Die Abrechnung dürfte noch etwas transparenter werden, da man die Transaktionskosten nicht wirklich nachvollziehen kann. Sonst vollkommen zufrieden. Es hat uns und unseren Lesern geholfen.

This is an actual review
My review was removed. I was describing in what way this plugin sucked, but I guess that doesn't belong in a review section. No explanation then. This plugin simply sucks. I cannot warn future users in what way it sucks. You must guess it yourself. I do not need support. If I wanted support, I would have emailed Steady. This is an actual review.
