Piano isn't built for every publisher.

Piano is designed for large enterprise teams with complex data operations — making it expensive, resource-heavy, and difficult to manage for many publishers.

  • High cost and enterprise pricing

    Often requires large contracts and long-term commitments.

  • Complex implementation and setup

    Requires technical resources and a mature data infrastructure.

  • All-in-one lock-in

    Paywalls, analytics, and CDP are tightly coupled, limiting flexibility.
