Case studySTARS & STRIPES

A paywall facelift that grew the subscriber base 5×

Stars and Stripes, the independent publisher serving the US military community, has grown its subscriber base nearly fivefold since going live in 2019 — then returned to Pelcro for a modern, custom paywall UI to power its next stage of growth.

Usually launches go through turbulence before they stabilize. That was not the case with Pelcro's new paywall UI — it went smoothly, with no problems whatsoever from the moment of deployment.
