How to Cancel Bloomberg 2026 — Is $35/Month for Financial News Worth It?

Updated March 2026 • 5 min read

Bloomberg's digital subscription costs $34.99/month ($420/year), making it the most expensive mainstream news subscription in the US. Unless you're in finance professionally and need Bloomberg-exclusive content daily, you're paying $420/year for content that's 80% available elsewhere for free.

⚠️ This is NOT the Bloomberg Terminal: The Bloomberg Terminal ($24,000/year) is a completely separate product for financial professionals. Bloomberg.com's $35/month subscription is their consumer news product — much cheaper, but also much less useful than the Terminal.

Bloomberg Pricing

Monthly: $34.99/month

Why $35/Month for Bloomberg Is Hard to Justify

Most financial news is free: Reuters, Yahoo Finance, CNBC, MarketWatch — all free
Bloomberg has a hard paywall: Very little free content compared to WSJ or FT
At $420/year, it's 2x the cost of WSJ: And WSJ covers similar ground
The real value is the Terminal: Bloomberg.com is good journalism but doesn't give you Terminal-level data
Matt Levine is free: Bloomberg's most popular writer (Money Stuff) is available via free newsletter

When Bloomberg IS Worth It

You work in finance: Bloomberg scoops and analysis can be career-relevant
You read it daily: At $1.15/day, it's fair if you read 3+ articles daily
You need Bloomberg Intelligence: Research reports included with subscription
Your employer reimburses it: Check — many finance firms cover news subscriptions
