Features
Decide who sees what — without shipping code for every rule
Entitlements sit between your catalog and your content, so access, upsell prompts, and messaging all read from the same source of truth.
Easy to configure, flexible paywall
Metered, hard, or hybrid paywalls per section, with rules you change in the dashboard.
No-code entitlement management
Attach entitlements to products, plans, and user attributes — no deploy required.
Easily create upsell opportunities
A locked feature shows only the plans that unlock it — no dead-end upgrades.
Personalize messaging by entitlement
Segment on-site CTAs and email campaigns by what a subscriber can already access.
For marketing & operations
Access control that doubles as a conversion tool
Entitlements read from the same records as paywalls and payment processing, so access changes the moment a subscription does.
Contact salesGet a free evaluation of your current funnel and user experience
We'll review your paywall, access rules, and upgrade paths — and show you where entitled readers get blocked or unpaid ones slip through.
Who it's for
For developers
Set access rules once, in the dashboard
Add entitlements to your products and plans once. As your catalog grows, new content and features inherit the same rules — no additional code changes.
Gate anything with one attribute or one API call
Add data-pelcro-entitlements="premium" to any element — text, image, video, or a whole container — to blur it until a subscriber unlocks it. Need custom logic? Check access in code, or drop in the React Elements Entitlements component.
Documentation
Find the entitlements API, the JS SDK, and the React Elements docs you need to build custom access-controlled experiences.
Who it's for
For the end-user
Group subscriptions and corporate licenses via IP/domain
Provide authorization to group members and site licenses through IP or email-domain matching — no individual accounts required. Every member automatically gets the same entitlements as the membership owner.
Fastest way to upgrade
Customers can upgrade or downgrade online in a couple of clicks, and are only ever shown plans that unlock what they're trying to access.
Clarify free vs paid features
Show on your website or app which features belong to which plan or product, so readers know what they're paying for before they hit a wall.

Coverage
Ways to authorize a reader
Subscription & plan
Entitlements attached to products and plans resolve the moment a subscription starts, renews, lapses, or upgrades.
IP & domain licenses
Corporate, campus, and library access by IP range or email domain — every member inherits the owner's entitlements.
Identity & SSO
Sign-in with Google, Facebook, or Apple, plus session and device controls to stop shared credentials.
Attributes & API
Grant access from user attributes, or resolve entitlements yourself through the API for apps and newsletters.
