The Mission

A shared movement for independent subscription data.

With everyone getting into subscriptions, it’s never been more important to be in control of your customer data.

Owning your subscription data matters.

With lots of new subscription platforms launching, it’s important to understand the differences in how they work.

You wouldn’t start an email newsletter on a platform which doesn’t let you export email addresses — but lots of people are starting subscription businesses on platforms that don’t give them access or control of their customer payment data.

Whoever controls the payment and subscription data, controls the business. If you can’t leave a subscription platform without leaving your customers behind, it’s not your business.

Know what you’re getting into.

Open subscription platforms compete on building better products for independent businesses.

Closed platforms compete on making it free and attractive to get started, but lock-in your data so that you can never cancel or leave if your needs change.

Open Subscription Platforms

These products believe in giving you full ownership of your own payments and customer data, so you can freely move your content and your business between different services.

Closed Platforms

Other products do not give you any access or control of your customer payment data. You’re locked-in. The only way to switch is to shut down your business and start over.

The future is open.

Open subscription platforms are all working to make millions of small businesses possible.
