Starting this month, Cosmopolitan has introduced a new paid membership program, Cosmo Unlocked, and with it, a metered paywall limiting non-members to four free articles each month. For $2 per month, members can receive unlimited access to the website, (which currently publishes about 30 new articles every day, according to EIC Jessica Pels), as well as a members-only newsletter and some online content that will be exclusive to members, including several deep-dive stories from its archives that have already migrated behind the paywall. If members are willing to commit $20 for an entire year, however, Cosmo will throw in a subscription to its monthly print edition, which costs $12/year on its own, in addition to other perks like discounts on certain products and early access to events. The initiative makes Cosmo the second publication in the Hearst Magazines portfolio to implement a metered paywall on its site, after Runner's World's Runner's World+ program, and it follows a similar model, albeit at a lower price point (RW+ costs $5/month for digital access or $50/year for an "all access" membership that includes a print subscription and other benefits).
