Plans & pricing

The Verge subscription price

Prices exactly as The Verge 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 The Verge only.

Your privacy

With a PayFar card, nobody needs your The Verge login

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

Resellers and shared accounts

They pay on your behalf: with access to your account

  • They ask for your The Verge 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 The Verge 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 The Verge 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 The Verge 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

The Verge 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 The Verge payment go through

1Paywalls check the card, not the reader

The Verge 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 The Verge with your own card means the app, the website and the archive all open under your name, with nobody else's login involved.

Questions

Buying a The Verge subscription: common questions

How much does a The Verge subscription cost?

The Verge plans: Monthly $7/mo, Annual $60/yr. Prices are exactly what The Verge charges; PayFar adds no monthly card fee, and the conversion rate is quoted before you confirm.

How do I buy a The Verge subscription with a Visa card?

Open a PayFar account; the virtual Visa card is issued in under 3 minutes. Top up at least $7, enter the card number, expiry and CVV at the The Verge checkout, and set the billing country to the one on your PayFar profile. The charge clears in seconds.

Is the The Verge price on this page the introductory one?

No: the page shows the regular price, the one a renewal charges. If the publisher runs an introductory offer, the first period may cost less.

Does the subscription include the archive and the app?

Digital plans usually cover the website, the apps and the archive; some extras such as games or cooking sit in a higher tier. The plan list on this page names each tier.

How do I cancel?

From the account page on the publisher's site. Some publishers ask you to cancel through a chat or a form; the card keeps paying until it is done, so do it before the renewal date.
