Paywall software for B2B publishers

Professional B2B content is too valuable for hard paywalls - but too important to give away for free.

Contentlockr is paywall software built specifically for B2B publishers, trade publications and professional media brands.
It helps you convert anonymous visitors into leads, leads into subscribers, and subscribers into long-term revenue - without killing reach or conversions.

The challenge of monetizing B2B content

B2B publishers operate in a completely different reality than consumer media.

Your audience is:

  • smaller, but far more valuable
  • highly selective in what they pay for
  • looking for trust, relevance and proof of value before committing

That makes traditional hard paywalls a poor fit for B2B content.

Why hard paywalls fail for B2B publishers

Hard paywalls:

  • block access before value is experienced
  • cause high drop-off rates
  • generate little insight into who your readers actually are

The result?
Low conversion, poor data and missed revenue opportunities.

At the same time, giving everything away for free isn’t an option either - especially when you:

  • publish market research and reports
  • publish professional insights and data
  • organize paid events, webinars or sell memberships

B2B publishers need a smarter, more progressive way to monetize content.

Built for professional B2B publishers

Contentlockr is designed specifically for publishers of professional and industry-focused content, such as:

  • trade publications
  • professional news platforms
  • industry portals owned by trade associations
  • publishers monetizing reports, data and events

These publishers share the same challenge:
How do we grow reach, capture high-quality data and generate revenue - at the same time?

Contentlockr solves this by replacing rigid paywalls with a flexible, audience-first approach.

From anonymous visitors to paying B2B subscribers

Contentlockr turns your content into a growth engine by guiding users through a clear, low-friction journey.

1. One-click access instead of hard paywalls

Instead of blocking content outright, Contentlockr lets visitors unlock content in one click.

Depending on the content, this can mean:

  • free access in exchange for basic contact information (like first name, last name and email address)
  • access for newsletter subscribers only 
  • paid access for premium reports, data or events

Visitors experience value first — which dramatically improves conversion.

2. Progressive profiling for high-quality B2B data

B2B data is only valuable if it’s relevant.

Contentlockr uses progressive profiling to gradually collect zero- and first-party data, such as:

  • role or job title
  • industry or company size
  • content interests
  • level of seniority

All without overwhelming the user with long forms.

The result:

  • richer reader profiles
  • better segmentation
  • more relevant communication
  • higher lifetime value per subscriber

3. Turn access into revenue

Once a user is engaged, Contentlockr helps you convert that engagement into revenue.

With one click, users can:

  • subscribe to a paid membership
  • purchase access to reports or market data
  • register and pay for events or webinars

No redirects. No friction. No lost conversions.

Paywall software that converts — not blocks

Many B2B publishers struggle with fragmented tooling:

  • one tool for paywalls
  • another for lead forms
  • another for email
  • another for payments

This creates friction — both for your team and for your audience.

Contentlockr replaces hard paywalls and loose tools

  • ❌ no data before the paywall

Loose lead forms & marketing tools
