The developper is really great and loves its job! I never mean that having a so good solution for a paywall could be so “easy” for an user like me. It’s simple, it works, and generates money, no headache. What else?

I evaluated many Paywall solutions and we selected Excalibur because of their customer support, easy setup (no code), simple user interface and cost. We have used the solution to secure events with over 1000 participants and it has performed flawlessly. A couple of bonus features that really differentiated the product for us is the ability to support iPhone’s Safari browser that defaults cookies to off, the real time reporting capabilities and affiliate tracking. I’m sure the feature is coming soon but the only other thing I would like to see is the ability to support promotion codes.
