Upcoming Pricing Plans Change Explained

Innovating digital publishing since 2011

Dear publishers,

Since 2011, PressPad serves many of you by literally becoming your technological department.
Our company was founded 9 years ago as a technology startup with a clear goal, to make mobile publishing as easy as never before.

Long story short, from Jan 1st, 2021 pricing plans of our products and services will increase. 

The cheapest mobile app monthly plan will increase from 29 USD/month to 49 USD/month. However, until the end of December 2020, you can order new or additional apps and services at the current pricing level.


The currently active subscriptions won't be affected by this change.

A little bit of history and our plans for the future

We took a long journey from a startup stage through a single product company to the multiple products platform. Today we operate in many countries, and we learn a lot from publishers from all over the world including the USA, UK, Japan, Romania, Poland to name just a few of these locations.

We transfer that knowledge into products and services that help publishers increase distribution, and enable content monetization.

Today, PressPad offers comprehensive solutions and support for magazine publishers including mobile apps, web apps, marketing services, and consultancy. We improve our tools based on hundreds of iterations.

What’s great is that there are many new values that we’ll release in the upcoming months including digital marketing tools for publishers: new widgets and the digital newsstand for the magazine publishers.

This year we introduced new mobile apps for PDF publishers opening completely new possibilities to engage readers. We improved our e-kiosk solution and freed publishers from the so-called Google’s and Apple’s tax as well as from the necessity of using outdated Flash-based flip-book solutions. There are many more invisible changes like improved infrastructure & reworked implementations of the backend. We build PressPad on the most reliable web service infrastructure on earth which is Amazon AWS.

We develop for you.

New year new prices

It was hard, but we made this decision with the value we provide in mind. From the beginning of 2021, we will increase the prices of all our tools and services. Mobile apps will start from $49/month instead of the current $29/month, ASO services will start from $199 instead of the current $99, and so on.

This change is necessary to keep providing high-quality service and secure the speed of implementing innovation.

For all the undecided

The good news is that until the end of 2020 you can place orders with the currently available low fees. What’s even better is that when you do that, you get a guarantee that your subscription price won’t change in the future.

So, if you are undecided yet, just give us a heads up and we’ll get you covered.

If you are our current customer, then your subscription won’t change at all, however, you can order additional apps and services at the currently available prices only until the end of the year.
