Frequently Asked Questions

What is this service?
RemovePaywalls.com helps you read the articles you want to read, without being blocked by a paywall.
How does it work?
Our default is to rely on archives that crawl the web and index articles in their full form (e.g., Archive.is, Wayback Machine, Google). However, if the article can't be found in an archive, we provide alternative options.
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 increase the likelihood of you reaching the article you care about. Different websites use different techniques to enforce paywalls, so various methods work for finding the full article behind them.
Why are you better than the alternatives?
A few ways. We've added iPhone and Chrome extensions for one-click access to full articles, clean up the URL for better compatibility, and offer alternative options if the primary method fails. Overall, we strive to provide the most effective solution available.
