Take control of the subscription experience your readers deserve

You don’t need another SaaS that holds your subscriber data hostage. Leaky Paywall runs in your WordPress, on your server, with your stack.

100% WordPress native

Open source. No external dashboards. Your data stays in your database.

Works with caching

The only paywall that plays nice with server-side and CDN caching out of the box.

REST API + hooks

Build whatever you want on top. We expose what you need.

GDPR + SCA compliant

The compliance plumbing is already done. Ship faster.

AI Subscriber Insights (included)

Know what’s working. Fix what’s not.

Insights tracks every logged-in reader and tells you what’s actually moving revenue. Pro includes it.

  • Email free registered readers likely to upgrade
  • Contact at-risk subscribers going quiet before they churn
  • Recover failed payments before the revenue is gone
  • See which content actually converts free to paid

What Pro looks like in production

Salem Reporter

20% free-to-paid conversion rate

16× more signups vs. newsletter forms

A tight registration funnel. One free article, register for the second, upgrade for the third. Turned anonymous visitors into paying subscribers.

Mexico News Daily

1M+ monthly readers, 100% reader revenue

Zero advertising

Eliminated all ads, tightened the paywall, launched dual daily newsletters. Subscriptions have grown every single month for three and a half years.

Small Boats Magazine

51% email open rates, 80-90% renewal rates

21 Pinterest-driven subs/month

Went from one email a month to two a week. Made email the product, not the promotion. Renewals followed.

Leaky Paywall now provides me with all of the services and support that I need to run a six-figure business at a tiny fraction of what it would cost to hire a team to do the same work.

Common Questions

Everything you’d ask before clicking upgrade

Is it hard to switch from another subscription platform?

No. We handle the full migration for free. Subscriber imports, paywall setup, all of it, included with Pro.

Do you help with setup?

Yes. One-on-one Zoom sessions to configure Leaky Paywall around your content and audience, plus follow-up meetings to review and refine. We help customize touch-points across registration, checkout, and email so the experience fits your site.

What does ongoing support look like?

We respond within 24 business hours, usually within a few. Support is 9 to 5 ET, with login-level access to diagnose issues including conflicts with other plugin code. Zoom is available whenever you need a real conversation.

Do you help with growing revenue?

Yes. One-on-one Zoom consultations to design subscription funnels, optimize targeting, and identify new revenue streams: pay-per-article, group plans, ad-free upgrades, archive access.

We share what’s working from the publishers we run on the platform, plus deep dives on pricing, messaging, and touch-point reviews.
