The Problem We Solve

Often, to read one interesting press article, you need to buy access to all content via a subscription or e-edition. Don't want to pay for content you don't need, like political or sports articles? Want access to materials from various publishers without creating multiple accounts and paying for multiple subscriptions? PENNYCUT is the answer.

"Almost one in five respondents (18%) indicate that they subscribe to several services with similar themes but want to use only the best one." - Subscriptions Report 2021, digitalpoland.org

How it works?

  1. On the partner's portal, next to paid content, the user sees the "Read with PENNYCUT" option alongside the standard subscription.
  2. Clicking "Read with PENNYCUT" authenticates the user in the system (skipped if already logged in).
  3. The user accepts the payment for content access (the cost in PENNYCUT points is clearly presented).
  4. PENNYCUT informs the partner about the transaction status, and the partner grants access based on this.
  5. The transaction is visible in the user's panel history and in the API available to the partner.
