Pricing
Your first 7 days or 3 articles are free, whichever ends first. Your paid days start only after the free days end. Nothing renews on its own. Prices include GST.
How paying works here
- Your plan starts when your free days end, even if you pay early.
- Days add up. If you buy a plan while another one is running, the new days are added at the end.
- Your free days open what the 1-month plan opens. Each plan opens what its card lists, from the moment you buy it.
Questions about paying
If I buy during the free days, when does my plan start?
On the day your free reading ends. For example: your free days end on 21 August and you buy the 6-month plan on 10 August. You keep reading free until 21 August, and your plan runs from 21 August to 19 February. If you finish your free articles before 21 August, your plan simply starts then instead. You lose nothing by paying early.
Do my free days include the archived articles and the Monthly Test?
No. Your free days open what the 1-month plan opens: the daily edition and the Daily Quiz. Weekly Catch-up, Monthly Decoded and the Monthly Test open on the 6-month and 12-month plans, and the archived articles on the 12-month plan. A plan bought during your free days opens its features the moment you buy it, and your paid days still start when the free days end.
What happens when my free days or free articles run out?
Your free reading ends at whichever comes first, the last free day or the third article. Reading stops until you buy a plan. Nothing is charged on its own. You can still buy a plan any time, and the price is the same before and after the free days.
Which articles count towards my free articles?
The Decoded analyses you open. Prelims Pointers, Mains Examples, PIB Corner and the Daily Quiz do not count, and opening the same analysis again never counts twice. You get 3 of them.
Is GST included in these prices?
Yes. The price you see is the full amount you pay.
Will you ever charge my UPI or card on your own?
No. A plan runs to its end date and stops on its own. Every payment is one you make yourself; we never charge your UPI or card without you.
Which plan should I pick?
The 12-month plan is the best value. Current affairs gives real value when reading it every morning becomes a habit, and a habit needs the full year, not a few weeks.
I am on the 1-month or the 6-month plan. Can I switch to a longer plan?
Yes. On your account page every longer plan is offered with the days left on your plan counted off its price, at the rate you paid. With 20 of your 30 days left on the 1-month plan, for example, you pay ₹1,166 for 12 months instead of ₹1,299, or ₹616 for 6 months instead of ₹749. With 120 of your 182 days left on the 6-month plan, you pay ₹805 for 12 months. The new plan starts the day you pay, and your running plan ends that day.
