Leaky Paywall

Leaky Paywall is a WordPress plugin that lets publishers launch metered, hybrid, hard or time-based paywalls, build a registration wall to grow an email list, and sell paid subscriptions while keeping subscriber data inside their own WordPress site. Content can be restricted by post type, category, tag or archive age, and the plugin is built so gated content remains crawlable by search engines and shareable on social media, which distinguishes it from paywalls that fully hide content from search.

The core plugin is free to install from WordPress.org, with a 10% revenue share on new paid subscriptions if no paid plan is purchased. The Pro plan costs $299 per month plus a $750 one-time setup fee and a 5% revenue share on new subscribers, while the Enterprise plan starts from $1,000 per month with custom pricing and no revenue share, adding native iOS and Android apps and additional payment gateways.
