Wall Street Journal iPad Subscription – $17.29/mo!!
It seems that the WSJ is treating iPad users as if they were subscribing to premium content above and beyond the full printed version by charging an impressive $17.29 per month! It seems that current WSJ subscribers who currently get the journal in some way or another will be able to get the iPad edition at a cheaper or free rate for a limited time, but why would using the WSJ iPad app cost more than getting both the online and print versions combined? Let us know in the comments if you think the WSJ is going a little overboard with their iPad subscription pricing and if it will cause you to find your news elsewhere!
So we now have the official price for the WSJ iPad app subscription: $3.99 per week with a monthly credit card charge of $17.29. For that you get subscriber-only content areas such as Business and Markets with access to a 7 day archive that can be downloaded and read at any time. It also offers personalization features and the ability to save sections and articles for later reading. And hey, it’s actually a bit less than the rumored $17.99 rate. Without the subscription, the free WSJ iPad app is limited to top articles and market data. Here’s the catch: a subscription to both the print and online versions of the Wall Street Journal will currently set you back just $2.69 per week (plus 2 weeks free) for a monthly bill of $11.67… eleven dollars and sixty seven cents.
