Give your paying science subscribers a private lab to geek out in

A big paper drops — a preprint everyone is misreading — and your inbox fills with new paid subscribers who want into the discussion. You're halfway through the methods section, not cross-referencing a Substack export against your Discord member list. So new readers wait hours for an invite while canceled subscribers sit in your replication threads, still asking questions you answer for free. Every embargo lift turns you into an admin instead of an explainer.

Access becomes instantaneous: the role lands seconds after Stripe confirms the payment, and a new subscriber can be arguing about effect sizes before you've refilled your coffee. When they cancel, the role disappears just as quietly. You get your reading time back: more hours with the literature, none with member lists. And when someone in your server questions a study's sample size at midnight, you know they're a paying reader — not someone who canceled three months ago.
