What publishers are saying

People are purchasing specific topics of interest, which is exactly what we hoped. We've gotten a lot of positive feedback from people online about the individual article purchase option.

Rascal News

Acta is a brilliant and easy-to-install addition to newsletter subscriptions. The more exclusive and high-quality my newsletters are, the better the revenue from Acta. I don't consider it as cannibalising my subscriptions, but rather as a great option designed to attract potential regular customers.

The Inquisitor & Sport & Politics

Award-winning investigative publisher

Acta's been working flawlessly with us. I can only recommend it. Acta helped us tremendously with a whole new audience we weren't monetizing before.

Frequently asked questions

Acta is a pay-per-content platform that lets publishers sell individual articles, videos, and digital content with one-click payments. It embeds directly on your website so readers never leave your site.

15% of what you earn — and that's it. There are no monthly fees, no setup fees, and no hidden charges. Unlike most platforms, Acta covers all payment processing fees (card fees, currency conversion, etc.), so you never see a separate Stripe invoice. For comparison, other micropayment platforms typically charge their fee on top of processing costs, which on small transactions like $1–3 articles can add up to 30%+ in total fees. With Acta, 15% all-in means you always know exactly what you keep.

You set a price on any article in your CMS. When a visitor hits a paywalled article, they can pay instantly with card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay and get immediate access. No account or login required.

Acta integrates natively with Ghost, beehiiv, and WordPress. If your platform is custom, contact us and we can scope a tailored integration path for your workflow.
