The problem
Your CMS is built for articles, not live
Most news sites publish an article once and move on. But a breaking story, an election night, a product keynote or a World Cup doesn’t hold still: updates land every few minutes, and readers want the next one in seconds. A static article was never built for that.
Static articles can’t keep up
You re-edit the same story over and over, fight the cache so the update even shows, and readers still have to reload to see it.
Building it yourself is a project
A real live ticker needs live infrastructure, a proper editor and reliability under load. That is engineering work, not a quick plugin.
And then there’s privacy
Even if you build it, you own the cookies, the logged IPs and the consent every external embed needs to load.
How it works
app.livetickr.io
Write, paste, done
Three steps from a blank editor to a live blog on your own page.
STEP 1
Write the update
A clean block editor for text, quotes, images and embeds. Publish now, or schedule it to go live the moment it starts.
STEP 2
Drop in one tag
One <script> tag on any page, any CMS. No plugin, no theme surgery, no developer needed. Paste it once, the embed does the rest.
STEP 3
It updates itself
New posts appear in the embedded ticker on their own, within seconds. Readers stay on the page: no reload, no missed moment.

Benefits
What you get
The essentials for live coverage, plus the extras that make it nicer to work with.
Embed anywhere in one line of code
WordPress, Next.js, a static page, a landing page for a single event. If it renders HTML, your ticker works there, with the same one-line tag. Paste it yourself in a minute, no developer or rebuild needed.
<script defer
src="https://cdn.livetickr.io/embed.js"
id="livetickr-feed"
data-ticker-id="tkr_9f3ab2"></script>Always live, no reloads
Publish an update and it shows up in every embedded ticker within seconds. Readers keep reading.
Privacy-first, no cookies
The embed sets no cookies and stores no IP addresses, so live coverage doesn’t drag a consent banner along.
Rich block editor
Text, quotes, images, social and video embeds: structured, not one long text field.
On-brand designs
Choose a timeline, markers or an editorial list, then set it all in your own brand color.
Author cards
Avatar, bio and social links on every post, so the byline credit lands where it belongs.
Schedule ahead
Prepare updates in advance and they publish themselves at the exact minute you set.
Use cases

Privacy
Privacy built into the embed
The embed collects what it needs to count a reader, and nothing else. No cookies, no consent banner, no reader profile to leak.
A schematic preview of how the ticker looks embedded on a publisher page.
Built in Germany by fdmedia GmbH.
No cookies in the embed
The embed sets no cookies. So the ticker needs no consent banner of its own, and readers start reading without agreeing to anything first.
No stored IP addresses
IP addresses and user agents are never persisted, so there is no reader profile to build up or ever leak.
Analytics without tracking
Views, unique readers, “reading now”, clicks and dwell time, all from rotating hashes that hold no personal data.
Embeds only with consent
Tweets, videos and other embeds load in their most privacy-friendly mode, and only after the reader agrees.
Pricing
Public prices. No surprise bills.
Start with a single event, or subscribe once live coverage is routine. A limit never takes a running ticker offline. All prices excl. VAT.
Launch pricing: subscribe to Publisher or Network within three months of our public launch and keep the launch price for as long as your subscription runs. Free while we’re in beta: join the waitlist and you hear first.

Frequently Asked Questions
The things publishers ask us before they join the beta.
01
Does it work with WordPress or my CMS?
Yes. Livetickr is a single script tag, so it runs anywhere you can paste HTML: WordPress, Craft, Next.js or a plain static page. On WordPress our plugin makes it simpler still: add the Livetickr block, paste the ticker ID, done. Nothing to install on your server either way.
02
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Every new account gets seven days free, no credit card needed. Invite your team, build a ticker and publish it on your own site to see it work with real readers. To keep it online afterwards, pick a plan or buy a single event. Every first purchase comes with 14 days money back.
03
Can I use Livetickr for a single event?
Yes. The Event plan is a one-time payment of €69 per ticker excl. VAT, no subscription. Your ticker runs on your own site for 30 days, with 100,000 pageviews and up to five editors. Buy ahead if you like: unused tickers never expire. Once the event is over, the ticker stays online as a read-only archive.
04
Do I need technical skills?
No. Setup is one copy-and-paste of the embed code, or a few clicks with the WordPress plugin. After that your team works in the dashboard or the mobile apps: write a post, hit publish, and it shows up on your site within seconds. Nobody has to touch code during the event.
05
How do you handle privacy?
The embed sets no cookies and stores no IP addresses. Reader stats use an anonymous hash that changes every day, so no one can be followed from one day to the next. Posts embedded from other platforms load only after the reader opts in. And everything is hosted in the EU.
06
Can I run several tickers at once?
Yes. On Publisher and Network you run as many tickers as you like, side by side. Network adds up to five brands, each with its own domain, team, roles and designs, so a media company keeps its titles apart in one account. The Event plan covers one ticker per purchase.
07
Is there a mobile app?
Yes. Livetickr has apps for iOS and Android, so you can post to a running ticker straight from your phone: from the stadium, the keynote hall or the press room. Sign in with your usual account and you see every ticker you can write to. The apps are included in every plan.
08
What counts as a pageview?
One pageview is one view of a published ticker. Auto-updates, “load more”, reactions and archive views don’t count. Subscriptions count per month across all your tickers, the Event plan per ticker. Reach your limit and your tickers stay online, while publishing pauses until you upgrade.
