Plans & pricing

Ground News subscription price

Prices exactly as Ground News charges them. Your card is billed in the same currency, and the conversion is quoted before you confirm, nothing is hidden in the spread.

PayFar charges no monthly fee on the card, you pay Ground News only.

Your privacy

With a PayFar card, nobody needs your Ground News login

Every other route asks you to hand over your Ground News username and password, or to buy a login that belongs to someone else. PayFar issues a Visa card to you instead, you pay Ground News yourself, from your own account.

Resellers and shared accounts

They pay on your behalf: with access to your account

  • They ask for your Ground News email and password to pay for you
  • You wait hours: sometimes a day, for someone to process the order by hand
  • A middleman fee on top of the exchange rate, never itemised
  • One card funds dozens of accounts: they get flagged together

PayFar

You pay, yourself؛ we only issue the card

  • With the card you pay yourself: no username or password is ever handed to anyone
  • Pay Ground News the moment you decide to: the charge clears instantly, at 3am if you like
  • No extra payment fee: just the rate of the day, shown before you confirm
No credentialsYour account never leaves your hands

Nobody logs into your Ground News account but you. There is no shared password, no session on someone else's laptop, and nothing to revoke later.

InstantSeconds, not hours

You enter the card at Ground News checkout and the charge settles from your balance in seconds. No order queue, no operator, no waiting for business hours.

No hidden feeExactly what the service charges

Ground News charges its own price and PayFar adds no payment fee and no monthly card fee. The conversion rate is quoted before you confirm.

Payments that go through

What makes a Ground News payment go through

1Paywalls check the card, not the reader

Ground News sells digital access through its own checkout, and that checkout reads the card's issuing country. A PayFar Visa passes; the article you wanted opens on every device you sign in on.

2Introductory prices end quietly

News subscriptions often start at a fraction of the price and step up after a few weeks or months. The page shows the regular price for that reason: it is what the card pays once the offer ends.

3One account, every device

The subscription belongs to the account that pays. Paying Ground News with your own card means the app, the website and the archive all open under your name, with nobody else's login involved.
