Circulate will go to work for you for free. The hypothetical $5 a month subscription would get you blanket access to premium content at various participating sites, but it's not central to the plan, in contrast to Journalism Online's plan. Without a mostly-free approach, you're right that it would be hard to get much traction. Our analysis says that the big opportunity on this tool is for publishers to improve ad revenue, not subscription revenue.
