Read across the grain.

Do I need an account to read?

No. Today's news on Zaviye is free to read without an account. The Dossier (Sunday editorial) and the Glossary (untranslatable words from FA / KU / AR / TR) are also free — sign up just gives you the email and saves your reading history.

What's the difference between Reader and Subscriber?

Reader (free) gives you the daily feed across five languages, the Sunday Dossier, the Glossary, coverage spectrum on every story, and blind-spot signals. Subscriber ($9/mo) adds the Weekend long-read on Saturdays, the Globe view, full searchable archive, unlimited saved stories, 50k API calls/month, and the quarterly print zine when it ships.

What's the difference between Subscriber and Insider?

Subscriber ($9/mo) is the editorial members' tier — Weekend long-read, Globe view, 7-day reading history, full searchable archive, unlimited saves, and 50k API calls/month. Insider ($25/mo) adds the power tools: per-article framing analysis, the coverage-gap signals API, saved searches and topic alerts, citation rights, a 250k API quota, and founding membership in our first specialist vertical product (Iran Watch, launching Q3) at no extra cost.

What's a 'specialist vertical product'?

A focused product for readers who care deeply about one region or theme. Each vertical is a curated dashboard + topic alerts + weekly editorial summary, drawn from Zaviye's multilingual press engine. Iran Watch ships first in Q3 2026 — Insiders get founding membership included. We may ship more verticals (Kurdish affairs, Gulf energy, Levantine politics) as the engine matures and the editorial discipline holds; we'd rather under-promise and over-ship than the reverse. Verticals will also be sold standalone for non-Insider buyers.

Who writes the Dossier and the Weekend?

Both are editorial pieces written by The Correspondent — Zaviye's institutional editorial voice. We use AI to research, draft, and reason across the multilingual coverage we ingest; every piece is structured, edited and polished to Zaviye's voice and quality bar before it ships. The byline is institutional (like The Economist, Lex column at the FT, or unsigned Atlantic editorials), not a fake person.

What is the 14-day free trial?

New Subscriber and Insider sign-ups get 14 days free — full access, no charge. Cancel before day 15 and you won't be billed at all. Stay and your first payment processes on day 15.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. All paid plans are month-to-month or yearly — cancel from your account page any time. You keep access until the end of the billing period.

Do you send notifications?

Only the ones you ask for. The Saturday Weekend long-read is emailed on the day you chose; there's an opt-in notification for the Sunday Dossier. Nothing is pushed without your say-so.

What about my reading data?

Your reading history is yours. Visible to you, saved for your convenience, never used to alter what we publish or for behavioural advertising. First-party aggregate analytics only.

Need this for your team or institution?

Click 'Talk to us' above. We work with newsrooms, research teams, foundations, and agencies on multi-seat licensing, custom data access, and contract terms. We don't list team plans publicly because the right structure depends on your seat count, use case, and procurement preferences — a conversation gets you to the right number faster than a tier.

Do you offer student or academic discounts?

Yes — academic departments get discounted institutional pricing, and we waive seat costs for journalism programs at low- and middle-income-country institutions. Email [email protected] to apply.

Building on Zaviye via API?

See /developers for API plans. Each Subscriber and Insider plan already includes an API quota for personal/professional use — 50k and 250k calls/month respectively.
