Slovenčina Is your subscription tech stack holding you back, draining your budget or limiting your growth? Or maybe you're just getting started with subscriptions? If so, the latest advancements in REMP (Reader Engagement and Monetization Platform) could make your publishing business easier, saving you time and money. Read on to see what exactly got better:
#1 Faster and easier 🍋LemonSqueezy installation
#2 New SaaS-based payment schemes
#3 Shorter time to value
#4 Wonderwall, a soft-paywall option in REMP
#1 Install REMP immediately
Yes, REMP is open-source, but setting it up might be tricky. With many different modules, the setup can be complex, and the documentation doesn't always make it easier.
At FatChilli we believe that enterprise-level tools should be accessible to as many publishers as possible. That's why we made 🍋LemonSqueezy REMP, a streamlined installation, so you don't have to worry about the complexities. With our expert support, you’ll have everything set up quickly and easily, without wasting time, money and resources.
Unlike many comparable SaaS tools, REMP is open-source, meaning you can install it on-premise or in the cloud service of your choice. This gives you full control over your data, more flexibility and security for your system. You aren't tied to a specific vendor or limited by pre-defined infrastructure.
What you can expect
✅ More time for innovation: Free up your dev team from maintenance tasks and give them more time to focus on new ideas and product innovation.
✅ Better Stability: REMP will run more reliably compared to self-installed versions.
✅ Simplified Updates: We handle updates for you, making them quicker and more cost-effective. While you can manage updates on your own, it’s much easier and cheaper with our fine-tuned installation.
✅ Time-Tested Expertise: Years of experience built in. Optimized, fine-tuned, and thoroughly tested.
✅ Monitoring: Stay on top of both technical and business performance. Are your newsletters being sent out properly? Are your readers registering smoothly? We'll monitor and make sure REMP runs smoothly.
✅ Extendible & Customizable: LemonSqueezy REMP installation is fully extendable, compatible with a vast library of custom FatChilli REMP modules. Need something more? Our dev team can build custom integrations to match your new ideas.
Why 🍋LemonSqueezy REMP makes a difference
Think of REMP open-source as a kit car. You could build it yourself, but it would require significant effort and expertise, much like a mechanic assembling a car from scratch. In contrast, LemonSqueezy is like a car assembled on a robotic factory line - efficient, precise, and backed by a warranty. It’s more expensive, but it offers peace of mind, professional support, and is ready almost instantly.
Faster time to value
The first installation of REMP took six weeks with a dedicated, skilled developer. Now, thanks to LemonSqueezy, your REMP instance can be live by tomorrow - without costly developer hours. It’s ready in the cloud, configured to integrate with your tech stack - your website, app, or other systems.
Not to mention, throughout all the FatChilli's REMP implementations, we've prepared and gathered multiple exclusive modules which add whole new features into the open-sourced REMP version. But to install these, REMP needs to be in a healthy and compatible state, something that isn’t always the case with self-hosted installations.
#2 One barrier less: Flexible payment schemes
Previously, the high upfront cost discouraged some publishers from using REMP. We listened and responded by introducing a new flexible payment scheme, making REMP accessible to all.
No more large upfront cost. Instead, you can opt for a SaaS-based payment structure, which spreads out the investment over time, aligning with your cash flow and growth.
This approach begins with a thorough analysis of your needs, leading to a precise cost estimate that covers all phases.
To better illustrate the difference, look at the below graphs. Chart 1 shows how other comparable for-profit tools’ costs increase with user growth and scale.
The process starts with signing the contract, followed by installation, integration, customization, and data migration. Once these steps are completed, you reach the launch phase. The beauty of this model is that it offers flexibility. Your costs remain predictable, and as your business grows, the software costs don’t necessarily increase. This gives you better control over your budget and ensures that your technology costs don’t get out of control as you succeed.
Potential for near-zero costs
In some cases (depending on your usage and needs), once everything is up and running smoothly, you no longer need customizations, and with your internal IT team trained to take care of REMP, your external costs could drop to almost nothing.
#3 Integration made easy: Immediate benefits with minimal effort

Here’s how WonderWall can help you
-> Increase time on site. Essential for publishers who monetize primarily through advertising, Wonderwall helps keep visitors engaged longer.
-> Collect emails and build your newsletter subscription list, allowing direct communication with your audience.
-> Diversify traffic sources and reduce your dependency on external platforms
-> Understand what content your audience values enough to exchange something valuable, like their email. This insight helps you determine if you’re ready to move to a full subscription model or need to refine your content strategy.
WonderWall lets you decide which readers see locked content and how they can unlock it. You can base these decisions on how people behave on your site, tracked by REMP.
Choose from multiple unlocking options, like:
🔐 Registration
🔐 Newsletter Sign-Up
🔐 Push Notification Subscription
🔐 Rewarded Ad
🔐 Donation
🔐 Or, you can get creative 🙂
Let's see an example. You might discover that visitors coming from Google Discover never make purchases. For this segment, you can set the lock to display a Rewarded Ad as the primary option, knowing that registration is unlikely for these users. You can run A/B tests on different parts of a segment to determine which unlocking method performs best.
WonderWall offers a flexible solution that allows you to experiment with different monetization strategies before fully committing.
