After coming aboard PaywallProject, the Welch News grew their paid digital subscriptions from $0/mo to ~$3,000 per month in less than 2 years in a small rural Appalachian town with a total population of about 2,000 people.
Pricing comparison
Newspack starts at $750/mo. For most local news publishers, this is a non-starter. Our goal has always been to make sure that the tech needed to start a successful digital subscription/membership/donation site is within reach regardless of the size of your news operation. We start at $299/mo. If you run a small weekly news publication, a digital news startup, or serve a small to medium-sized market, you may qualify for our local news subsidy package.
Strategy and consulting
We provide ongoing strategy and consulting from the very beginning to help meet your goals. Whether you are planning to implement a paid digital subscription model or a donation model, we can help. Generate more revenue!
