What the subscription actually pays for.
Most news apps are free because your attention is the product being sold. Briefly is priced instead, and the price buys a specific set of work done on your behalf every day:
- A briefing made for you, not a feed made for everyone Each morning the day's stories are clustered, ranked and narrowed to a short lineup chosen against your role, industry and preferred depth — the full pipeline is public.
- Answers with receipts Interrupt any story with a spoken question and the answer comes back grounded in retrieved sources, with the citations attached so you can read the reporting yourself.
- Text when you want it Every briefing keeps a full transcript, and every story keeps its links to the original reporting.
- An incentive structure that points at you Because you pay, nothing in the briefing is sold to anyone else and no story placement is for sale — that promise is written into the disclosure page.
The trial, step by step.
Three days, the full product, and the exit is as easy as the entrance.
- 1 Start free Create an account and set your profile. There is no charge today — the trial runs 3 days with everything included.
- 2 Decide with full information We email you before the first charge, so the end of the trial is a date you know about, not one you discover on a statement.
- 3 Keep it, or leave in two clicks Cancel before the trial ends and you're never charged. Stay, and it's $7.99 a week until you say otherwise.
Cancelling is a settings toggle, not a negotiation.
Settings → Billing → Billing Portal, which opens your payment provider's secure page. Two clicks, no email required, no retention call, no "are you sure" gauntlet. Cancelling keeps your access until the end of the period you already paid for, and then you simply aren't billed again. If something went wrong with a charge, email hello@brieflylab.ai — refund requests are read and handled by a person, not a form.
Billing questions, answered straight.
- What does Briefly cost?
- One plan: Briefly Pro at $7.99/week — about $1.14 a day, billed weekly. It starts with a 3-day free trial, and there is no charge until the trial ends.
- When does billing start?
- After the 3-day trial ends, unless you cancel first. We email you before the first charge, so the start of billing is never a surprise.
- How do I cancel?
- Settings → Billing → Billing Portal, which opens your provider's secure page. Two clicks, no email required, no retention call.
- Do I lose access the moment I cancel?
- No. Cancelling keeps your access until the end of the period you already paid for, and you're simply not billed again.
- Can I get a refund?
- Cancel during the 3-day trial and you're never charged at all. If you're billed and something went wrong, email hello@brieflylab.ai — refund requests are handled by a person, not a form.
- Is there a cheaper plan with ads?
- No, and there never will be an ad-supported tier. You pay for the briefing, so nothing in it is sold to anyone else and no story placement is for sale.
