Grow subscription revenue with flexible payments.
Attract new customers. Manage subscribers.
Retain them forever.
As featured in
Build a healthy revenue stream around loyal subscribers.
Every publisher wants a healthy revenue stream from a growing base of loyal subscribers.
The problem is, not every potential customer will want to commit to a full-price subscription straight away.
How can you attract new customers with offers without alienating your existing ones?
How can you monetise customers who aren’t yet ready to subscribe, or have recently churned?
Axate helps publishers recognise and meet the needs of all their users, by making it simple to target flexible payments and dynamic pricing at non-subscribers.

How Axate’s payment tools work
Attract and retain forever customers.
Only with Axate.
Our services put you in control with easy-to-use payment services.
All supported by seamless sign-on.
Convert more
Let casual visitors build habits with a low-
commitment model: 32% of non-subscribers
would pay given flexible options, while
only 2% subscribe first-time.
Retain more
Retain churning subscribers as customers
with dynamic pricing and pay-as-you-go.
Downgrading keeps them as customers
and they remain in your payment funnel.
Increase spend
Generate incremental revenue with each
user engagement and improve ARPUs for
every type of reader. Use pay-as-you go
to learn the customer, and upsell later.
Solutions for every publisher
Subscription-first publishers
With subscription fatigue making retention harder, and steep discounts to acquire new subscribers decreasing ARPUs, Axate offers a way to attract new customers and scale up your revenue without putting off your existing subscriber base.
Benefits
Increase customer acquisition and retention.
Improve your subscription funnel.
Increase ARPU with engagement and frequency.
Advertising-first publishers
With advertising revenue declining, and only a minority of readers willing to subscribe first time, Axate offers a way to attract paying customers with custom pay-as-you-go plus subscription packages to suit them.
Benefits
Never lose a customer with our retention tactics.
Market your product to 100% of your audience.
Never lock a reader out.
Build and sustain strong, long-lasting
customer relationships
Readers want to read the articles they’re interested in and support the journalism they believe in.
Axate makes it possible for every reader.
I used @TorontoStar's micropaywall via @axate for the first time yesterday. Bought 2 articles for a total cost of $1.50 and ended up getting full access to the site for 24 hours. Really great UX and I am very happy to continue supporting quality journalism this way! pic.twitter.com/vsNN0OQNAp
