Questions publishers ask first.

Still have a question? Talk to our team →

Is there a revenue share?

Not on Community, Daily, or Regional. You keep every subscription dollar. The self-hosted plugin is the only option with a revenue share: 5% of the subscription revenue that comes in through PaywallProject.

How long does setup take?

On Community, Daily, and Regional, 30 days or less, and that build time is included in your first month. With the self-hosted plugin, you can install it and start selling subscriptions the same day.

Is there a setup fee?

No. Your plan starts at signup, and we get to work right away.

Can you migrate our existing site content?

Yes. Whatever your current CMS, we can move your site into WordPress. Contact us for an estimate.

We run more than one publication. Can you help?

Yes. Each site goes on the plan it needs, and we offer group pricing across your publications. Talk to our team.
