As of August 24, accessing the full content of Brand New will require a paid subscription.
Why? In short, for its survival; in long, for plenty of reasons outlined here.

Option 1
Basic
THE EASY, STRAIGHTFORWARD, DEFAULT SUBSCRIPTION OPTION
Instant access, no fuss — all credit cards accepted from anywhere in the world
Option 2
Pay-what-you-want
FEELING GENEROUS AND WANT TO PAY ABOVE THE BASIC RATES?
Monthly
Annual
This is a) super nice and b) helpful to fund requests for people that can’t afford the subscription.
Option 3
PayPal
FOR SINGLE SUBSCRIBERS THAT CAN’T OR DON’T WANT TO USE A CREDIT CARD
Monthly
Unavailable
This is because PayPal’s transaction and conversion rate fees would basically consume the $2 cost
Annual
$20
Rates are updated manually every now and then, if you see a conversion rate that is wrong please let us know.
We have included the most common currencies based on our analytics. If your currency is missing let us know.
THIS IS A 2-STEP PROCESS: After you complete payment, click on “Return to Merchant” to be redirected to the page where you will complete and activate your subscription on Brand New
Note: Paying and subscribing this way will create a subscription valid for one year only and you must renew it yourself every year
Option 4
Teams
ONE PAYMENT BASED ON SPECIFIC TEAM MEMBER COUNT — DISCOUNTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE
Monthly
Annual
THIS IS A 2-STEP PROCESS: AFTER THIS PAYMENT YOU WILL RECEIVE A COUPON CODE THAT EACH TEAM MEMBER WILL NEED TO USE TO COMPLETE THEIR OWN REGISTRATION ON BRAND NEW — USER NAMES AND PASSWORDS CAN NOT BE SHARED
PLEASE BE PATIENT WITH US AS WE NEED TO MANUALLY GENERATE A CUSTOM CODE FOR YOUR COMPANY BASED ON YOUR SPECIFIED NUMBER OF TEAM MEMBERS
Option 5
Gift
GIVE SOMEONE THE GIFT OF A SUBSCRIPTION
As a buyer of the gift you are purchasing a one-time gift for the selected term — The gift recipient will be responsible for adding a payment method before the next renewal period
Contribute
NOT A SUBSCRIPTION
One-time Donation
One-time-charge
WHILE WE ARE NOT RUNNING A CHARITY OR NON-PROFIT, YOUR DONATIONS HELP SUPPORT OUR NO-QUESTIONS-ASKED POLICY TO PROVIDE SUBSCRIPTIONS TO THOSE THAT CAN’T AFFORD ONE.
PLEASE NOTE THAT A DONATION DOES NOT EQUAL A SUBSCRIPTION — IT IS IN ADDITION TO A SUBSCRIPTION.
Subscription benefits
On both monthly and annual plans, you will receive access to:
- The content of all individual posts on the blog beyond the before/after header image.
- Polls and comments.
- Full RSS functionality.
- The Follow-up podcast.
- The weekly newsletter.
To keep things simple, it’s an all-or-nothing deal instead of itemized options.
Free Access if Needed
For anyone that can genuinely not afford the subscription cost we will happily provide a free subscription. No questions asked. No reasons required. You tell us you can’t afford it, we will honor your request. Email us! Please note, this is not a blanket invitation to students — many of you can skip one Starbucks drink a month to afford two months of Brand New.
