Case Study: Newsweek achieves streamlined payments and more creative subscription offers with Pelcro

Newsweek - Customer Case Study

Newsweek, a global news publisher reaching more than 46 million unique readers, faced the common publishing challenge of monetizing digital readership while keeping the payment and subscription experience smooth. To address this, Newsweek integrated Pelcro’s metered paywall and subscription management tools to streamline how readers sign up and pay.

Pelcro implemented a metered paywall and simplified payment flow that gave Newsweek the operational flexibility to experiment with offers—like ad‑free trials and tiered digital plans—and roll out changes quickly. The partnership helped Newsweek be “more creative with their offers,” and, as CRO James Green notes, Pelcro was “super responsive” in making needed changes and solving problems.
