The Line, the Brief and the weekly edition are free forever, and Plus does not change a word of what any of them say.
Plus does not buy a different fact, an earlier fact or a better-corroborated fact; it buys breadth, memory and convenience.
The product is not open yet. Nothing on this page can be bought today, there is no payment surface on this site, and no subscription exists to hold.
Free, forever
Free is not a sample of the product and it does not expire. It is the product at one location, with the day's sentence and the day's brief in full.
- The Line, one sentence a day, complete on every channel it reaches.
- The Brief, three to six items a day, at the first two depths.
- The weekly edition on a Sunday, which a reader may take instead of the daily Line rather than as well as it.
- One location.
- Three follows, across topics, entities, places and document series.
The Line is never paywalled, never truncated and never carries a sponsorship unit.
Plus, at GBP 3.99 a month or GBP 29 a year

Plus is GBP 3.99 a month or GBP 29 a year. It is one entitlement, the same on the web and in both app stores, bought once and held across all of them.
Plus buys breadth, memory and convenience, and nothing else.
Advertising
There is no advertising at launch and none is sold now. Hand-sold sponsorship is written down as a fallback, and it fires only if subscription revenue does not cover the cost of running the product.
If it ever fires, it is bound by rules written now rather than under revenue pressure later:
- One unit per brief, and it sits after the completion state.
- Never inside an item.
- Never in the Line.
- Never in a push.
- Labelled identically on every channel.
- Sold by us, never by a network.
- Never targeted using location, calendar or follow data.
The ad-free entitlement binds us only if there is ever anything to be free of.
When the product opens, the free reader and the paying reader will read the same Line, on the same morning, with the same documents behind it.
