About this app

Before it's everywhere, it's in The Information.

The Information is the most trusted source for original tech news and business reporting — read first thing every morning by the founders, CEOs, venture capital investors, and operators who move the industry. We break the stories the rest of the internet spends the next 24 hours catching up to. If you care about getting the news first and trusting the source, this is your app.

While other outlets aggregate and republish, our reporters develop original scoops you won't find anywhere else: deep investigations into Big Tech, profiles of the founders building the next generation of companies, and rigorous analysis of the deals, fundings, and power shifts shaping technology and business.

IS THE INFORMATION RIGHT FOR YOU?
Our readers also follow Bloomberg, Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and TechCrunch — the outlets that often spend the next day catching up to the stories we break first. The real question isn't whether you'll get the news. It's when. Get it here, first.

The Information is more than a publication — it's the daily edge for people who can't afford to be last to know on AI, venture capital, crypto, and the deals shaping tech and business. Subscribe in the app and read the news that's first, and most trusted.

Ratings and reviews

Most of the interesting content is behind the Pro pay wall. Also pricing is the same across first world and third world countries.

great app but, pricing is insane for us in developing countries R1000 odd a month is almost double my car insurance payment!! Just ridiculous! Pity the devs don't provide cheaper option for those of us in the developing world. But at an exchange rate of ZAR 20 to $1 the pricing is just insane!

When The Information first came on the scene, it had one tier: $399 a year for everything. Later they added an even higher-priced “Pro” tier for org charts and databases, and I was unimpressed. Today with AI and mainstream competitors, a subscription feels like the venerable Rolex of tech news: high priced, polished, and mostly a status symbol. Even with a $100 “discount" offer, it still feels overpriced.
