It's interesting to look at their valuation of the website access. Right now they don't offer a website-only plan.
All Digital Access (Website + Tablet app + Phone app) = $35/month or $420 / year
Website + Tablet app = $20/month or $240 / year
Website + Phone apps = $15/month or $180 / year
There is no discount for All Digital Access when compared to either of the application plans. Once you are on one of the plans, the upgrade path is unconscionable.. $240/year or $180/year for use of an additional native mobile app? It seems they either value website access at $0 or subscribers are paying for website access twice.
It's more interesting when you compare home delivery options. Home delivery includes All Digital Access as a bonus. The cheapest home delivery (Monday to Friday) is $6.20 per week without any introductory rate or special offer. This works out to $322.40 per year (52 weeks) or $26.87/month (4.33 weeks per month).
This suggests that if you want access to the website plus both the phone app and the tablet app, you'd be better off buying home delivery and throwing out the paper.
