Pay Per Article

Pay per article offers flexible access to premium news, articles, and digital content from your favorite newspapers, magazines and blogs, all without the need for a subscription. Whether you're an avid reader or someone who only occasionally check in, you can pay as you go and read exactly what you want, when you want. This on-demand reading model gives you complete control and freedom over your choices, offering a cost-effective and hassle-free way to access premium content and enjoy quality content without long-term commitments.

Pay per article is a micropayment model designed to offer a flexible and cost-effective alternative to traditional subscriptions. Instead of committing to a monthly or annual fee, you can use a pay-as-you-go system, where you only pay for the specific articles or pieces of content that interest you. This on-demand reading approach allows you to explore different publications and topics, gaining access to premium content from multiple sources, without being restricted by subscription fees. The freedom to choose and pay per article gives you more control over your reading and spending.

Creditable’s pay-per-article system is built around a credit-based micropayment model that’s both simple and transparent. You can purchase article credits in various bundle sizes, allowing you to manage your spending while enjoying flexible access to premium content. Each article clearly displays the credit cost upfront, so you’ll always know how much it will take to unlock an article before making a decision. This pay-as-you-go model makes it easy for readers to access content without committing to long-term subscriptions.
