Subscriptions give you solid cashflow you can plan around.

Why wait months for sales reports and payments from distributors when you can capture revenue up-front today.

Typical distributor model

Delayed reporting and payments can leave you funding contributors, printing and shipping from your own pocket, and with no contact with readers.

With Subsail subscriptions

Collect revenue up-front and see sales in real-time. Get direct communication with your readers and fund future issues.

Subsail has allowed us—and our customers—to manage subscriptions far easier than our previous system, and auto-exporting data to our fulfilment partner has been a huge timesaver.
