Prices are:
Smartphone App | $15 every four weeks |

| Tablet and Smartphone Apps | $35 Every four weeks |
Publications pay Apple up to 30% to use its service.
Readers who subscribe to the paper edition of the Times also get access to its online content at no additional charge. Anyone can access for free up to 20 articles per month on the Web site.
