Pelcro AI Coding Agent

Skip the separate page builder

Describe the paywall, offer page, or checkout you want. Pelcro's AI Coding Agent writes valid Pelcro code, opens a branch, and hands you a preview link to approve — no separate no-code page builder to license or maintain.

Example prompt

“Add a metered paywall to article pages”

See the AI Coding Agent
  • No separate page builder

    Build paywalls, offer pages, and checkout flows from a prompt, wired to Pelcro from the first commit.

  • No engineering ticket

    Launch a new offer without waiting on a deploy window or a developer's backlog.

  • Keep the site you already run

    The agent reads your WordPress or Arc theme and mounts the paywall where your article body renders.

  • Every change is reviewable

    Changes are ordinary code on a branch with a preview link. Rollback is one click.

Pelcro publishes its plans: a free plan for up to 100 customers, Advanced at $450 a month, Professional at $800 a month, and custom Enterprise pricing above 5,000 customers.

Does Omeda handle print fulfillment and circulation audits?

Yes. Omeda fulfills print subscriptions with integrated postal services, supports USPS ACS, offers CASS and NCOA through a partner, and says it works in compliance with BPA and AAM audit requirements. Lettershop printing is handled by the client's chosen vendor. Pelcro supports controlled circulation, USPS address verification and AAM and BPA audit reporting.

Yes. Pelcro includes an import tool on every plan, and Pelcro Professional Services can migrate user data and subscriptions, with limits that may apply by plan. Omeda offers APIs and staff-run file output, which it lists at $150 per standard selection, so plan the export with Omeda early.
