Zephr

What Zephr is

Zephr is a subscription experience platform for creating and personalizing journeys for subscribers. Its drag-and-drop rules builder offers more than 50 pre-built decision nodes, and it supports soft, metered, hard, and dynamic paywalls. AI decisioning uses behavioral signals to tailor which paywall and offer a visitor sees. Dashboards, conversion tracking, and visual journey flows give teams ways to follow performance and subscriber paths.

Zephr connects to other systems through extensions, data layers, webhooks, and APIs. Listed extensions include Zuora Billing, Stripe, Braintree, Salesforce, HubSpot, Mailchimp, BigQuery, and Zendesk. Its described identity controls include social sign-in, passwordless authentication, multi-factor verification, and login policies. Zuora says the platform supports first-party data compliance under GDPR and CCPA. Zephr is presented for enterprise use, particularly media companies; highlighted users include Forbes, The Irish Times, and The Globe and Mail. Its developer references cover the Zephr Admin API and Public API, with JavaScript, Browser, Swift (iOS), and PHP SDKs. The product is available through web and API, and pricing is on request.
