The yearly figures are rounded to whole dollars, and the percentage is worked out from the exact prices. Web prices come from each publication's subscribe options on Substack. In-app prices come from the in-app plans in the publication's Substack data. Both were checked on Oct 19, 2026, and either can change.

Questions

Why does a Substack newsletter cost more in the app?

Substack publications can set a separate price for subscriptions bought inside the Substack phone app. App stores take a cut of in-app payments, which is a common reason app prices are higher. The web price is what you pay on the newsletter's website.

How much higher are app prices?

For the 133 Substack newsletters we list with both a US-dollar web price and a yearly in-app price, 129 cost more in the app. The middle (median) difference is 37.5% more per year, and the largest is 46.7%.

Which price do you show?

The web price. If you want to pay the lower price, subscribe on the newsletter's website in a browser, not inside the app.

Prices change; the official page always wins. Not investment advice.
