Introducing our ad-free pass, a simple, inexpensive way to switch off the ads on All3DP. Here's how it works, what it is, and what it is not.

Making the content you read on All3DP isn’t free. It requires writers, editors, translators, developers, site infrastructure, business rates, coffee and… well, you get the picture. Like any business, it costs money, and we have to generate that money somehow.

Like virtually every other content website we rely on advertising. It has the most impact and lets us keep All3DP free to access for everyone visiting the site.

But we know that’s a trade-off. For many readers, the ideal experience would be one with no ads at all. That’s why we’re happy to share our our new straightforward, optional utility to turn off the ads: the All3DP ad-free pass.

For a one-time, non-recurring payment of $9.99 (or equivalent in your local currency) you can get 365 days of ad-free access to All3DP. That means no banner advertising, inter-page popups, or popup videos from third parties.

It works out at less than 84 cents per month, giving you:

  • Unlimited, ad-free access to every article
  • Ad-free reading on an unlimited number of devices
  • Faster load times and a cleaner look
  • The satisfaction of directly supporting the team behind the stories you love

Questions? We’ve got answers.

Do all ads disappear from All3DP if I subscribe?

All third-party banner advertisements (the blocks that sit alongside and in-between the content) go, as well as any popup videos and full page popups between articles on All3DP. Native advertising content, such as sponsored articles and our own site messages remain.

Does my ad-free pass move with me across devices?

Yes. Your access to the ad-free All3DP is tied to the account used to log in, no matter where you use it, you just need to validate again if you’re visiting the site from a different device for the first time.

How many devices can I use?

There is no limit. Anywhere you can access All3DP, you can access All3DP ad free.

Does All3DP collect ad-free pass users’ data?

No. All information collection used for solely advertising purposes ceases the moment you subscribe. If an ad is not shown to you, neither are the trackers associated with it. We do not collect your log in information.

How does my payment help All3DP?

Your support goes directly toward the writers, editors, and creative team behind the articles we create. It’s a small way to make a big difference in keeping independent publishing strong.
