Frequently asked questions

How much does Conks cost?

Conks is listed at ~$20/mo · $200/yr (access model: Freemium), classified in the "Under $50 / mo" band. The cheapest recurring tier works out to about $17/month on a monthly-equivalent basis. Prices are the publisher's own publicly listed tiers as of 2026-10-04; always confirm on their site before subscribing.

Is there a free version of Conks?

Yes, partially. Conks is freemium: some posts or data are open, and the paid tier (~$20/mo · $200/yr) unlocks the rest. That is the cheapest way to judge the writing before paying.

How does Conks compare with other 69 desks in its category?

Across the 17 publications in this category that publish a recurring price, the median entry tier is about $29/month. Conks sits below that line. Entry price is a weak quality signal on its own: analyst-time products cost more to run than data products, so compare the tier you would actually buy rather than the headline number.

Is Conks worth the price?

The test is whether the desk produces primary work you cannot get free: its own data collection, filings analysis, models or channel checks. Conks covers Monetary dynamics & repo plumbing and is classified as analysis. If you already follow that subject closely and the desk is not telling you something new, the marginal value is low regardless of price; if it is your primary source in that niche, the cost is usually trivial against a single position. This index does not accept payment for a favourable description.
