Core offering

Tageszeitung Plus is a German web platform operated by Streilinger Marketing that aggregates 150+ regional daily newspapers and lets consumers order free 4-week trial subscriptions online. The company compensates participating publishers for each trial subscription generated, acting as a marketing intermediary that helps regional publishers acquire new subscribers through risk-free, automatically terminating trial offers.

Product overview

Tageszeitung Plus operates a free trial subscription platform for German regional daily newspapers. The core offering is a digital marketplace where users can order complimentary 4-week trial subscriptions for over 150 regional newspapers. The service eliminates the typical 2-week limitation found elsewhere, providing a longer evaluation period. Users select newspapers by name or postal code, and the trial automatically ends after 4 weeks without requiring cancellation. The platform partners with publishers including Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung, Badische Neueste Nachrichten, Saarbrücker Zeitung, and many others, with Streilinger Marketing operating the service since 2005.

Direct peers

• Pressreader: Pressreader offers unlimited digital access to thousands of newspapers and magazines via subscription, similar to how Tageszeitung Plus aggregates German newspaper trials. Both serve consumers seeking broad newspaper/magazine access on a single platform and rely on publisher partnerships.
• Readly: Readly is a digital magazine and newspaper subscription service that aggregates titles into a single all-you-can-read platform. It is comparable to Tageszeitung Plus as a single-platform aggregator of German-language periodicals, though Readly is digital-first and operates across multiple countries.
• Magzter: Magzter is a digital newsstand aggregating magazines and newspapers into a subscription app. It parallels Tageszeitung Plus's publisher-aggregation model and consumer proposition of testing/accessing multiple titles via a single channel.

Others

• Bild (Axel Springer): Bild is Germany's highest-circulation daily newspaper and runs a paid digital subscription product (Bildplus). It is relevant as a publisher partner and as a competing customer acquisition channel for paid newspaper subscribers in Germany.
• Süddeutsche Zeitung: Süddeutsche Zeitung is Germany's largest national quality daily and a key publisher partner in Tageszeitung Plus's catalog. It is an ecosystem participant whose paid subscription funnel overlaps with the platform's trial-to-paid conversion role.
• Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ): FAZ is a leading German national daily newspaper with paid digital subscription products (FAZplus). It is comparable as both a publisher partner on the platform and as an operator of competing direct-to-consumer subscription funnels.

Broad incumbents

• Axel Springer: Axel Springer is one of Germany's largest media publishers (Bild, Welt) and a dominant force in the German newspaper market. Its direct subscription funnels (e.g., Bildplus, Weltplus) overlap with Tageszeitung Plus's trial-aggregation value proposition for German readers.
• Verlagsgruppe Georg von Holtzbrinck: Holtzbrinck publishes major German newspapers and magazines including Die ZEIT and Handelsblatt, and runs paid digital subscription products. As a large German publisher, it competes indirectly with Tageszeitung Plus for paid newspaper subscribers and could choose to internalize trial marketing.
