Our review
The De Correspondent terms say the digital journalism platform belongs to de Correspondent B.V., located at Barentszplein 7, 1013 NJ Amsterdam and registered with the Kamer van Koophandel under number 57208646.
De Correspondent is a single publication funded by members, not an aggregator. It describes itself as an ad-free platform with full editorial independence.
What members get
De Correspondent publishes articles, audio and video in its app and on its website. It says it offers context and depth instead of daily news.
The site links an RSS feed, a books publishing arm, gift memberships and a business membership.
Prices and plans
The membership page shows 10,50 EUR per month, or 105 EUR per year with a 21 EUR discount. A two-year plan is listed with a 52 EUR discount.
The page does not state a free trial in the text we read.
Entity and terms
The terms apply to all services that De Correspondent offers and to every agreement between the company and the reader. A separate set of terms covers the book membership.
We did not read the privacy text or any data location statement.
Where it falls short
De Correspondent is one Dutch-language publication focused on background stories, so it does not give the daily breadth of Apple News+. It offers no magazines, puzzles or other publishers, and the data location is not stated.
