RemovePaywalls.com helps you read the articles you want to read, without being blocked by a paywall.
How does it work?
We use archives that crawl the web and index articles in their full form (e.g., Archive.is, Wayback Machine, Google).
What sites does this work for?
Hundreds! We’ve successfully tested articles from publications including Bloomberg, the New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, The Guardian, Harvard Business Review, LA Post, LA Times, The Economist, Chicago Tribune, Boston Globe, The Atlantic, The Telegraph, and The Sydney Morning Herald.
What sites does this NOT work for?
Some sites use a "hard paywall" on the server-side, which means that the site doesn't load the content until the user has logged in. In these instances, the article isn't available for crawling and so the full article can't be found. RemovePaywalls.com won’t work for these sites.
Why are there multiple options?
We want to provide an easy way for you to check other archiving services, if the first one did not find the article.
Why are you better than the alternatives?
We've added iPhone, Firefox and Chrome extensions for one-click access to articles, clean up the URL for compatibility, and offer alternative options if the primary method fails.
