Enforce secure, time-limited access to premium web content like digital archives, without modifying your existing application or infrastructure.

Enforce secure, time-limited access to premium web content

Monetizing premium content on the web often comes with a trade-off between security and user experience. Whether it's high-resolution art, scientific data, or gated educational material, implementing robust access control usually demands deep integration and backend development. Webfuse removes that barrier.

These often involve:

  • Complex authentication flows
  • Backend engineering for session management
  • Risk of content leaks or unauthorized sharing
  • Difficulty implementing time-based restrictions

This is especially challenging when the content is hosted in third-party apps or legacy web galleries with limited customization options.
