Incredibly responsive

The most important thing for us is being able to sell gift gift subscriptions that donors can schedule in advance, and that recipients become the subscriber for. The lack of this was the main reason we decided against a handful of other software options before finding Pelcro.

Pros:

Working with Pelcro they have time and time again added or changed functionality based on our request, and we've had great calls and meetings about developing functions for us.

Cons:

When we first started there were some functions we thought they had, that they didn't. Once we asked about them, they added them though.

Reasons for choosing Pelcro

Reasons for switching to Pelcro

Cratejoy was not great to begin with, only got worse with time, and failed at basic things like Google not being able to properly measure conversions.

Pelcro serves a niche need in Publishing

Pelcro is an integral part of the Education Week tech portfolio handling a key area of our business, subscriptions (group and individual). From a day-to-day perspective, the software handles the subscriptions effortlessly. As we are a complex business, we look forward to more work on the platform to help achieve our more precise business goals.

Pros:

Our company, Education Week, began an RFP process with Plecro in Q4, 2019. Pelcro showed a strong desire to achieve work, even when work took longer to complete than anticipated or unexpected problems arose. Much of the platform specifics for Pelcro are well-documented in their docs.pelcro.com for base features/functionality. Pelcro's platform is a one-stop-shop for individual subscriber management with the best solution for simple recurring payments and plans. The ability to use a web-based product to review both print and digital subscriptions in real-time is unique in this space. Coupled with customer data such as payments, invoices, usage, and a self-service portal, it creates an environment for quick service to the customer. From a development perspective, we appreciate the ability to highlight possible new features and work with Pelcro to incorporate them in their roadmap.

Cons:

There are three main areas of concern with the Pelcro software and support. Reporting: Pelcro has yet to develop traditional reporting packages that are similar to other publishing fulfillment companies. This hampers visibility into the business and places audits at risk. Development: After requirements have been gathered, Pelcro would benefit from early check-ins with their clients. We've experienced issues with buy-in and alignment of features, shared understanding of features that could / could not be implemented, better testing on proof of concept, and maximizing their team's hours. Group Subscriptions: Not part of their core offering I would not mark them down for this issue, but our company does need to build workarounds to achieve business results.

Reasons for choosing Pelcro

Age of Pelcro (newer company) and our company size (smaller but complex business) generally fit well together for ROI & the ability to influence future features. Pelcro’s earlyproblem-solving capabilities were appreciated and helped us with workable solutions so that we could meet a multi-system launch timeline.

Great paywall software

Overall, the relationship has been very positive. The Pelcro team has been responsive, helpful and given plenty of subscription-related insight. Our subscriptions have increased by around ~25% since implementation and they've been more than willing to work with us on unique ideas and minor custom implementations. I'd easily recommend them to any publication, especially those looking to avoid tying their revenue to a %-based pricing model.

Pros:

Customer service is top-notch. Fixed-rate pricing so our costs don't scale with our user count. Quite customizable aesthetically.

Cons:

The admin tools are steadily improving, but sometimes limited in their power/utility. Gift subscriptions are cumbersome, requiring an account to be created in order to buy the gift.

Reasons for choosing Pelcro

Fixed-rate pricing and a nice balance of features.

Pros:

We are digitizing an award-winning group of community news and lifestyle brands based on Eastern Long Island, New York. Our oldest brand is 163 years old led by a Pulitzer winning editor and very talented, digitally oriented team. After years of building our capabilities we made the decision to charge for metered access to our content. This has been a game-changer for our business. The Pelcro team is smart, resourceful and helped us integrate our legacy print subscriber database with seamless digital access while building an entirely new, highly profitable digital only revenue stream. www.timesreview.com

Cons:

There were absolutely times during the integration process that had some bumps, but this generally related to changes in the API related to the software running our legacy newspaper business. Pelcro was very proactive throughout the integration process which was successfully implemented.

Reasons for choosing Pelcro

Strategic fit and capabilities of the Pelcro solution. We were also intrigued with AI and predictive marketing features as we as well. This is helping us efficiently invest our dollars. Highly recommend.

Reasons for switching to Pelcro

We switched for more robust and modern capabilities designed to be user friendly.

Excellent customer service / setting up strategies for growth

The customer service team is quick to respond to technical questions/concerns. They also prioritize the need for their customer service manager to understand our business processes so that together we can figure out how we can use PELCRO software to meet our business goals through bi-weekly strategy meetings.

Pros:

Their willingness to provide increased training of our team about the capabilities and use of the available software options and opportunities on how to communicate with subscribers.

Cons:

The gift redeeming process is confusing and frustrating for our clients - Improvements have been suggested and are being developed. The sending of renewal notices 90/60/30 days before subscriptions expire is not yet automated – improvement to this process has been discussed and plans are in place to develop automated capabilities to remind our subscribers to renew.

Pelcro has allowed us to build a digital boxing training hub where our users can shop for apparel and equipment, book personal training and subscribe to our digital library and online live classes.

Pros:

Pelcro is by far the best option on the market for companies who want to create a truly customized user experience without doing all of the hard stuff! This software takes care of the important things (member management, billing, product/plan management, authentication) so we can focus on creating a unique and seamless experience for our members. No other software allows you to so easily customize, but also has all of the important infrastructure already implemented so you can get up and running extremely quickly.

Cons:

Honestly we have had a great experience with Pelcro so far, any new feature requests or ideas we've brought to the Team have been well received and they have been so fast to respond and implement.
