Individual subscriptions are offered at a base rate of $7.00 per month, with a discount for prepaid subscriptions of ten months or more. We also offer a premium level ($14.00/month) with some extra features, and a "starving hacker" rate ($3.50/month) with reduced features. For those whose support for LWN knows few bounds, we also offer the "maniacal supporter" subscription rate ($50.00/month). Subscriptions at all levels provide access to all LWN content.

Subscriptions may be paid with Visa, MasterCard, American Express, PayPal, or a check drawn on a US bank. For more information on how subscriptions work, including our refund and privacy policies, please see the LWN.net FAQ.
