Pricing
Reading is free and stays free. Pro pays for automation and cadence — watchlists that keep working, a briefing every morning instead of once a week, and the API. Nothing you can do by hand is behind the paywall.

How this compares
Feedly Pro+ and Readwise Reader cost about the same. They read anything; this reads AI and machine-learning research closely. Neither of them can tell you that a paper published overnight matches what you were looking for three weeks ago, because neither matches by meaning — that is the one thing The Flow is built around.
Questions
- Can I cancel?
- Any time, from your account page. Access continues to the end of the period you have already paid for. See refunds and cancellation.
- Who takes the payment?
- A merchant of record, which is the seller for the transaction and handles VAT. Card details never touch this site.
- Are the AI summaries paid?
- No, and they will not be. They are what makes a story page worth linking to, and they cost about €2 a month for the entire corpus.
