“Having been with a previous paywall which ended in disaster. Leaky Paywall set up and migrated our previous subscribers within a matter of days. The paywall has been working like a dream and support has been answered within minutes. Their advice has skyrocketed our subscribers and streamlined our business. Would highly recommend.”
