Choosing well
Check Android access first
Android availability can differ from web access. EL PAÍS, Haaretz and Hearst Magazines UK list Android, iOS and web platforms, while IEEE Spectrum lists the web.
Check the service’s platform list before subscribing, especially if you want to read on a Xiaomi, Redmi or POCO phone.
Compare free access and starting prices
A free plan can let you try a publication before paying. Financial Times lists a free plan, and Le Monde lists a free plan with paid access from €13.99 per month.
Paid starting prices vary by publication. Examples include Foreign Affairs from $29 per year, Granta from £18 per year and la Repubblica from €12 per year.
Match the publication and bundle
Check whether a subscription covers one publication or a publication bundle. The comparison includes publication type and publication bundle so you can match the offer to what you want to read.
Look at archives, audio and ads
Archive access matters if you want to revisit older issues or articles. Compare it with audio content and ad-free access, which can change how you read or listen.
Consider trials and gifts
A free trial can help you evaluate a paid service before committing; Magzter lists a seven-day trial. Check gift subscription support if you are buying access for someone else.
