Curious about what others think of the price. $399/year is pretty steep. Compared to, say Ben Thompson who I do subscribe to for $120/year. For younger (<=30) folks, there's a $199/year discounted price.
It's super steep. I think that their target market is businesses and people who can afford it. But I jumped on it when they offered the young professionals plan. Really just to support them over the exclusive access side of things.
I haven't checked yet, but I'd think you may be able to get access through public library membership.
