Klikk+ Paywall: How to Read Klikk.no Articles for Free

Klikk+ locks the real-life stories, knitting patterns and recipes on klikk.no behind a 39-krone subscription. How it works and how to read a full Klikk story.

Paywall behaviour last tested

Klikk is the Norwegian lifestyle site of Story House Egmont, Norway's largest magazine publisher. It gathers content from Egmont's weekly magazines, the real-life stories, the knitting patterns, the recipes and the car pieces, and adds articles of its own on top. The stories most likely to be shared, the first-person "Historier fra virkeligheten" accounts of family life gone wrong among them, are the ones marked Klikk+, so a reader arriving from a link usually meets the subscription prompt. This guide explains how the Klikk+ paywall works and how to read a full article.

How the Klikk+ paywall works

Klikk runs a freemium paywall. Most of the site is open to everyone, and a selection of pieces is marked Klikk+ and reserved for subscribers. Klikk+ costs 39 kroner a month with no binding period, is bought through the Vipps payment app, and the site says it has passed 20,000 subscribers.

The gate is enforced in the browser. The article text is delivered in the page so that search engines can index it, and on Klikk+ stories the site's own markup declares the article as not freely accessible (isAccessibleForFree: false). A script then checks whether you are a subscriber and swaps the body for the Klikk+ box. A reader that fetches the page without running that script receives the complete article. Our explainer on metered versus hard paywalls sets out why that distinction matters, and Klikk sits on the softer side of it.

Our tests on 27 October 2026 through Skip the Paywall:

  • A 1,552-word Klikk real-life story by a mother on what the first months with a baby did to her, and why she still regrets it, loaded in full, all 48 paragraphs.
  • A 1,591-word Klikk real-life story about a babysitter who quit without warning, and the shocking reason that emerged months later, loaded in full, all 39 paragraphs.
  • A 1,477-word Klikk real-life story about a mother who became her daughter's best friend, until the daughter had to say stop, loaded in full, all 34 paragraphs.

Read a Klikk article in full

  • Copy the article link. Klikk links look like klikk.no/historier/ followed by a slug of words from the headline and a seven-digit article number at the end.
  • Paste it into the box on the home page and press Read Article.
  • The story appears in a clean reader view with the headline, byline and full text.

The reader shows the article in Norwegian, exactly as Klikk published it. If you want it in English, your browser's built-in translation works on the reader page in the normal way.

Other approaches

  • Free articles. Only the pieces marked Klikk+ are gated, and much of klikk.no is open to everyone.
  • The weekly magazines. The real-life stories are drawn from Egmont's weeklies such as Hjemmet, with names and places changed, so the same stories run in print.
  • A month of Klikk+. There is no binding period, so 39 kroner buys a single month through Vipps if you want to read a backlog and then stop.
  • Private windows. Klikk+ is a label on the article rather than a count of how many you have read, so a private window does not help with a Klikk+ story.

How it compares with other Norwegian sites

The Norwegian newspapers we have tested behave much like Klikk. Dagsavisen, Morgenbladet, Vårt Land and Dagen all load in full and have guides of their own. Bergensavisen, part of the Amedia group, gave mixed results and is not listed. We have not run full tests on Aftenposten or VG, so we make no claim about them either way. The full list of sites that work is kept current.

Subscribe if you read it regularly

Klikk+ is cheap, 39 kroner a month with no binding period, and it pays for the writers and editors behind the stories, patterns and recipes that Egmont's weeklies produce. If you read the real-life stories every week, a Klikk+ subscription is the right way to keep them coming.

Frequently asked questions

The subscription for klikk.no, the lifestyle site of Story House Egmont. It costs 39 kroner a month with no binding period, is bought through Vipps, and unlocks the stories marked Klikk+. The site says it has passed 20,000 subscribers.

Does the reader work on Klikk+ stories?

Yes. All three real-life stories in our 27 October 2026 tests, between 1,477 and 1,591 words each, loaded in full. The text is delivered in the page and hidden by a script, which the reader does not run.

Does it work on Aftenposten or VG?

We have not tested those two in full, so they are not listed either way. Dagsavisen, Morgenbladet, Vårt Land and Dagen all pass and have their own guides, while Bergensavisen gave mixed results.
