Everyone reads 3 Comlumen stories a month free. A subscription reads all of them, with their sources, on every device you sign in on.

Choose a plan

Both read everything. Cancel any time from your account; you keep reading until the end of what you have paid for.

$10 a month

Billed every month.

$100 a year

Billed once a year: $20 less than twelve months.

Prices in US dollars. Payments are taken by Stripe; Comlumen never sees your card. Comlumen is published by Stacklumen LLC.

The meter counts stories only. None of this ever counts, and a story you have already read this month never counts twice.

The front page, sections, topics and Latest: Every list of stories, and every author’s page.
The daily briefing and the archive: Each day’s edition, and every day before it.
Live coverage: Every update on a live page, with its key points.
Comlumen Play: The daily crosswords and word games.
Corrections, and how we report: What we got wrong and fixed, and how we work.
The opening of every story: Its headline, standfirst, picture and first paragraph, for readers, search engines and links shared anywhere.

What counts as a free story?: Opening a story for the first time in a calendar month (UTC). Without an account, a browser reads 3; with a free account, the account reads 3. The count starts again on the first of each month.
How do I cancel?: From your account: Subscription, then Cancel. You keep reading until the end of the period you have paid for, and nothing is charged after it.
What does Comlumen keep?: For the meter: which stories your account opened this month, or, signed out, a signed cookie in your browser listing them by a code. For a subscription: your plan and its dates. Stripe keeps your card.
