Pricing
Three plans. Every account starts on Pro.
Your first 30 days are Readster Pro — free, no card. Then keep Pro, move up to Max, or stay on Readster Free: a weekly brief on up to 5 topics.
Readster Free
A smaller Readster that keeps working — nothing deleted.
Where your trial lands
Nothing to buy — and nothing to cancel.
What Readster Free includes
- One brief a week, on a fixed day we assign, written by a smaller AI model than Pro's daily brief
- Up to 5 topics, people, organizations or companies, with the same coverage they get on Pro: news, plus official sources and SEC filings where they apply
- Up to 10 RSS or Atom feeds of your own
- 1 instant SEC filing alert a day for the listed companies you follow
- Your archive, search and full export
Where every trial and every cancelled subscription lands, instead of a locked account: a smaller Readster that keeps working, with nothing deleted. Pro subscriptions pay for it — they are still our only revenue. No ads, no selling data.

Students & academics: 50% off with an academic email address (.edu, .ac.*, or equivalent — contact us if yours isn't recognized). We may review discounted accounts and ask for proof of affiliation.
Your data is yours: one-click export of sources, archive and briefs, on every plan. Cancel Pro and your account moves to Readster Free — nothing is deleted.
Fair use on Readster Pro: Ask and item actions are metered at 50 a day on our key; on your own OpenRouter or Anthropic key there's no daily limit. We'll always tell you before anything is limited — never a silent degrade.
