ETPrime membership: what you get and how to judge the price
ETPrime is the paid membership of The Economic Times. It unlocks Prime Exclusives (long-form business and markets reporting), stock research tools such as Stock Reports Plus and BigBull Portfolio, and the ET ePaper. ET also adds a Docubay subscription and a TOI+ and ePaper subscription as complimentary benefits. The Economic Times shows ETPrime prices only inside its checkout, and figures quoted elsewhere range widely, often with time-limited discounts, so we don't quote one. This page lists what an ET Prime subscription includes, how to see today's price, how to judge whether it is worth it for you, and where Subspace fits.

How to check the ETPrime price
ET changes ETPrime prices and offers often, and plan lengths range from a few months to several years. The checkout screen is the only reliable source.
- 1Open the ETPrime page on economictimes.indiatimes.com and select Subscribe Now.
- 2Sign in or create an ET account.
- 3Compare the plan lengths on offer; longer plans usually cost less per month.
- 4Look for ET’s own offers on the checkout page rather than codes from coupon sites.
- 5Check whether the plan auto-renews and at what price before you pay.
What the bundled benefits are worth
ET values the two complimentary subscriptions at ₹999 and ₹1,999. Those are list prices, so they are only worth that much to you if you would otherwise pay for Docubay or TOI+. If you would, they offset a real share of the ETPrime price; if not, judge ETPrime on the core features alone.
Values as stated on the ETPrime page (economictimes.indiatimes.com/prime), October 2026.
| Docubay subscription | ₹999 |
|---|---|
| TOI+ and ePaper subscription | ₹1,999 |
| Both together | ₹2,998 |
Who ETPrime is for
- Active investors who will use Stock Reports Plus, BigBull Portfolio and Investment Ideas every week.
- Professionals who follow a sector closely and want long-form analysis of companies and policy.
- Readers who already pay for TOI+ or would use Docubay, since both come bundled.
It is a weaker fit if you mainly read daily headlines, which remain free on ET, or if you already pay for another markets research tool. For other subscriptions that bundle several services, compare Times Prime.
Getting the most out of an ETPrime plan
If you do subscribe, a few habits make the fee easier to justify:
- Activate the bundled benefits early. Docubay and TOI+ are separate services, so follow the activation steps ET sends after you join rather than leaving them unused.
- Read where you already spend time. Set up the ePaper and the weekly Wealth Edition on the phone or tablet you read on most.
- Use the research tools before acting on tips. Stock Reports Plus shows analyst consensus and a stock score, a useful second opinion on a stock someone recommended on social media.
- Diary the renewal date. Multi-year plans cost less per month but are harder to justify if your reading habits change, so decide before ET renews you.
