What a New York Post subscription costs and what you get
The New York Post offers digital and print subscriptions at different price points. A digital-only subscription (online access to articles, the mobile app, and the e-edition) typically costs less than a print subscription. Print subscriptions include the physical newspaper delivered to your home, plus digital access. The Post also sells combined packages that bundle both print and digital together.
Prices vary depending on how long you commit — weekly rates are higher per week than monthly rates, and annual plans offer the lowest per-week cost. The Post frequently runs promotional rates for new subscribers, especially for digital access. You can find current pricing on their subscription page, which updates regularly.
All subscriptions include access to the Post's website without a paywall, the mobile app for iOS and Android, and the digital replica of the print edition. Print subscribers also receive the newspaper at their address on publication days.
Key Takeaways
- Digital subscriptions cost less than print but give you full online access and the mobile app without receiving the physical newspaper.
- Print subscriptions include home delivery of the newspaper plus digital access, and cost more than digital-only plans.
- The Post runs promotional rates for new subscribers regularly, so checking their subscription page may show a lower starting price than the standard rate.
- You can manage your subscription, pause delivery, or change your plan through your online account at any time.
- Cancellation can be done through your account settings or by contacting customer service directly.
How to start a digital subscription
Go to the New York Post subscription page and select the digital plan. You will be asked to create an account with your email address and a password, or sign in if you already have one. Enter your payment method — the Post accepts major credit cards and may offer other payment options depending on your region.
Review the plan details, including the price, billing cycle, and any promotional terms. Promotional subscriptions often auto-renew at the full rate after the promotional period ends, so note the renewal date. Complete the purchase and you will receive a confirmation email. Your digital access should be active immediately or within a few minutes.
How to start a print subscription
Visit the New York Post subscription page and select a print plan. You will need to provide your delivery address, email, and phone number so the Post can set up home delivery. Enter your payment method and review the plan terms, including the delivery start date and billing cycle.
Print subscriptions typically begin delivery within three to five business days, though this can vary by location. You will receive a confirmation email with your account details and a customer service number. If delivery does not start on time or you have questions about your address, contact the Post's customer service team using the number in your confirmation.
Managing your subscription online
Log into your New York Post account on their website or through the mobile app. Your account dashboard shows your current plan, billing date, and payment method. From there you can pause your print delivery temporarily (useful during vacation), change your plan, or update your payment information.
If you want to upgrade from digital to print, or downgrade from print to digital, you can make that change in your account settings. Some changes take effect immediately; others apply at your next billing date. The Post will send you a confirmation email whenever you make a change.
How to cancel or pause your subscription
Log into your account and look for a "Manage Subscription" or "Account Settings" section. Most subscription services, including the Post, allow you to cancel directly through your account without calling. Select the option to cancel and you will be asked to confirm — some services offer a discount to keep you as a subscriber at this point.
If you prefer not to cancel but want to pause print delivery temporarily, that option is usually available in the same menu. A pause typically lasts two to four weeks and does not affect your billing cycle. When the pause ends, delivery resumes automatically.
If you cannot find the cancellation option online or have trouble completing it, call the customer service number from your confirmation email or invoice. Have your account number ready. Cancellations are usually effective at the end of your current billing period, not immediately.
Troubleshooting common subscription problems
If you cannot log into your account, use the "Forgot Password" link on the login page to reset it. You will receive an email with instructions. If you do not receive the reset email, check your spam folder or try a different email address if you have multiple accounts with the Post.
If your digital access is not working after you have paid, log out completely, clear your browser cache, and log back in. Try accessing the Post on a different browser or device to determine whether the problem is specific to one device. If the issue persists, contact customer service with your account email and the error message you are seeing.
If your print subscription is not arriving on time, check your account to confirm your delivery address is correct. Delivery delays can happen due to weather or local postal issues. Contact customer service if you have not received your paper for more than two days, and they may be able to arrange a replacement or credit.
Understanding billing and payment
The Post bills you on a recurring schedule — weekly, monthly, or annually depending on your plan. Your billing date is shown in your account and on your invoices. Payment is charged to the credit card or payment method you provided at signup.
If a payment fails, the Post will attempt to charge your card again. You will receive an email notification if a payment does not go through. Update your payment method in your account settings to prevent service interruption. If you have questions about a charge, check your account history or contact customer service with your invoice number.
Promotional rates are temporary. After the promotional period ends, your subscription will renew at the regular rate unless you cancel. The Post sends reminder emails before the renewal date so you can decide whether to continue.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get a New York Post subscription if I live outside New York?
Digital subscriptions are available anywhere with an internet connection. Print subscriptions are available in most areas of the United States, but delivery may not be available in all locations. Enter your zip code on the subscription page to see whether print delivery is offered in your area.
What is the difference between the e-edition and the website?
The e-edition is a digital replica of the printed newspaper — it looks like the print version and is organized the same way. The website is the Post's online news site with articles, videos, and breaking news updated throughout the day. Both come with a digital subscription.
Can I share my subscription with family members?
Most news subscriptions are for individual use only. Check your subscription terms or contact customer service to ask whether household sharing is permitted. Some publishers allow it; others do not.
How do I download the New York Post app?
Search for "New York Post" in the Apple App Store or Google Play Store and download the official app. Open it and sign in with the email and password from your subscription account. Your digital access should be active immediately.
What happens if I cancel and want to resubscribe later?
You can resubscribe at any time using the same email address or a different one. Your old account may still exist in the Post's system, but you can create a new subscription independently. Promotional rates may be available for returning subscribers.
