The Corporate Subscription (The #1 Hack)
If your company has five or more people who would benefit from The Ken, do not buy individual plans. Contact their sales team for a corporate subscription, which offers a substantial bulk discount and centralized billing.
Check for Student & Team Plans
The Ken offers heavily discounted plans for students at eligible institutions and for smaller teams. Before paying the full individual price, always check their 'Plans' page to see if you qualify for a cheaper tier.
The Gifting 'Discount'
Occasionally, The Ken offers their gift subscriptions at a promotional price. You can use this to 'gift' a subscription to yourself for the next year at a lower rate than a standard renewal.
Pre-Cancellation Safety Checklist
You Will Lose Access to the Premium Article Archive
CRITICAL: The moment your subscription period ends, you will no longer be able to read any paywalled articles, including those published while you were a subscriber. Your access is tied to an active subscription.
Your Free Account and Comments Are Safe
VERY IMPORTANT: Cancelling your paid subscription does not delete your account. You will still be able to read their free articles and any comments you have made will remain.
There Are No Pro-Rata Refunds
The Ken does not provide a refund for the unused portion of your subscription if you cancel mid-cycle. It is best to disable auto-renewal and enjoy the service until the last day of your paid term.
You Must Turn Off Auto-Renewal
To prevent future charges, you must go to the 'Subscription' section in your profile settings on their website and ensure that the auto-renewal option is turned off.
Did you know? We can notify you 5, 3, and 1 day before any renewal — and help you cancel in minutes.
