Question 1

Can I subscribe to only the Daily Update or only the Daily Update Podcast?

Can I share the Daily Update with a friend?

Ben Thompson · Accepted Answer

No, the Daily Update and Daily Update Podcast are intended for one subscriber only.

Of course occasional forwarding of the Daily Update to interested friends or colleagues is totally fine.

Question 7

Can I switch to an annual plan?

Ben Thompson · Accepted Answer

Yes! Just go to your account page and select the annual plan. You will be charged immediately, and your plan will be extended a year from your existing expiration data (for example, if your monthly plan is set to expire on March 31, and you switch to an annual plan on March 15, your expiration date will be extended to March 31 of the following year).

Question 8

Do you offer a student discount?

Ben Thompson · Accepted Answer

Stratechery is purposely kept at a low price — thousands of dollars less than other analyst reports or newsletters — to ensure it is accessible to everyone, including students.

Question 9

I can’t purchase/login.

Ben Thompson · Accepted Answer

Check the security setting of your browser: if you have disabled 3rd-party cookies then Stratechery’s membership software won’t work. Either use another browser or change your setting; after you register/login you can change the setting back for a good long while.

Question 10

Can you create a custom invoice that meets my government/company requirements?

Ben Thompson · Accepted Answer

I am happy to create an invoice to your specification for annual subscribers; however, it is simply not viable for me to offer this service to monthly subscribers. Therefore, if you need a custom invoice please subscribe or switch to an annual subscription and contact Stratechery.
