Pigeon is a cloud-based platform for paywalls and subscription management for digital content. Its audience includes publishers of newspapers, magazines, blogs, podcasts, newsletters, educational resources, streaming video, and digital downloads, as well as social-media influencers. Paywall options include hard, soft, metered, time-based, cookie, advertising, newsletter, and credits models. The service works with WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, static-site generators, and custom CMSs; its listed integrations also include HubSpot, Magento, Wix, Squarespace, and several site frameworks. Subscriber and customer management, subscription and billing tools, and financial and engagement analytics are included. A Theme Editor changes the appearance of paywalls, registration pages, and user account pages, including logos and colors. Payment options include major cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, and manual payments. All customers receive email support, documentation, regular check-ins, and setup implementation support. The Experiment plan is free forever but permits no transactions. Publishers costs $99 a month, with a setup fee starting at $750 and 10% transaction fees. Pigeon cautions that determined hackers using advanced tools may still bypass its paywall.
