Across the 13 publications in this category that publish a recurring price, the median entry tier is about $29/month. Mostly Borrowed Ideas sits at or above 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 Mostly Borrowed Ideas 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. Mostly Borrowed Ideas covers Large-cap compounders & software deep dives 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.
