Zette is what I wish I had for years. I wish they had more publications on the platform but I’m confident that will come in time as they gain popularity and those publications are forced to play ball.

I think it works really well, simple to install, and then boom it's going. What's better with this than most paywall removers is that there's a chance the journalists are still getting something (indirectly I know) when you're skipping the paywall. It's like an ethical adblocker. Slightly pricey, as someone who is a reader but doesn't always come up against paywalls being locked into a monthly sub is making me second-guess the decision to g for it. (Full disclosure, I'm on the free trial right now) I think the option to purchase credits as a pay-as-you-go kinda system could work really nicely here. Overall, cool business, a cool app, would (and have) recommend it to people I work with/know

I was excited for Zette’s launch because so many articles I want to read are behind paywalls. But I was disappointed once they launched to see their product list. No good content like NYT, Atlantic, or the Cut. Mostly just local newspapers of places I live no where near and wouldn’t care to read. And for a high price. Makes no sense to me and not sure who the target audience is for these selections.

Zette is my go to solution for casting those pesky paywalls into oblivion….finally I get support my favorite journalists without having to subscribe to dozens of journals I only read from time to time. Absolutely love it!

Really great-but it can be a bit tricky figuring out if the extension is glitching or if the publication just isn't a partner.
