Readwise Pricing: Plans, Costs, and Key Features

Plans and costs at a glance

The Full plan’s annual price means you pay for a year upfront, while the monthly figure is paid month by month. The monthly option costs more per month, but it can suit someone who wants less commitment.

The official pricing page is the best place to confirm the current Lite price, annual charge, and any plan changes before purchasing.

What each plan includes

Lite is the simpler choice. It is designed for people who want the daily email and an easy way to revisit their best highlights. That makes it a practical fit if you already read in other apps and only need a consistent review routine.

The Full subscription includes the core highlight-review experience plus Reader. Reader is a separate reading environment for people who want to save and work through articles, documents, newsletters, and other reading material. It is intended for heavier reading workflows rather than simple highlight review.

How the 30-day free trial works

New users can try the product for 30 days without entering a credit card. This gives you time to test the daily review flow, import or connect reading sources where available, and decide whether Reader fits your routine.

A trial is most useful when you test a real reading habit instead of browsing features once. Add a few highlights from books or articles, then check whether the daily review email helps you revisit ideas. If you are considering Full, spend time reading inside Reader as well.

There is no permanent free plan after the trial. When the trial ends, you can choose a paid monthly or annual subscription if you want to continue.

Discounts, referrals, and billing choices

Cancellation and renewal considerations

Subscriptions renew automatically unless you cancel them. Read the renewal date, billing interval, and payment method before completing checkout. The billing documentation also notes that users receive renewal reminders and can access receipts.

To avoid an unwanted renewal, do not wait until the final day of your billing period. Check your account subscription settings after you decide to stop. If you purchased through an app store, you may also need to manage billing through that store’s subscription controls.

Keep a copy of your receipt and note the next renewal date. These simple steps help when you compare an annual commitment with a month-to-month plan. They also make it easier to confirm that a cancellation request took effect.

Is the Full plan worth the higher cost?

The Full subscription is most valuable when Reader becomes part of your everyday reading system. A person who saves articles, newsletters, and long-form pieces may prefer having their reading and highlight review connected. Someone who only wants resurfaced book highlights may not need those extra tools.

Try measuring value during the trial. Each week, write down one idea that resurfaced and influenced a note, conversation, project, or decision. If that rarely happens, a paid plan may not be necessary.
