Tips & Things to Watch For

Desktop vs Mobile Web May Show Different Paywall Behavior

Pro Tip

Medium's paywall enforcement can behave differently between desktop and mobile web browsers. Mobile browsers sometimes show more content before triggering the paywall. Testing both can help maximize free article access.

3 Free Member-Only Stories Per Month Without Subscription

Pro Tip

Medium allows non-subscribers to read 3 member-only stories per month for free before hitting the paywall. Clear your browser cookies or use incognito/private browsing mode to reset this counter and get another 3 free articles. This works repeatedly but requires clearing cookies each time.
