Before joining a group Le Monde
Co-subscriptions are easy to understand, but it's a good idea to check how they work before you get started. Here are the answers to the most frequently asked questions.
Is it compatible with Le Monde?
Sharesub offers cost-sharing for all subscriptions that include a group plan. However, be sure to review the terms and conditions for sharing services, and avoid subscriptions from other countries: this may limit the available content or even block access to the account.
How are payments handled?
Your peer-to-peer transactions are processed in accordance with European regulations (PSD2): the identities of the organizers are verified, and payments are held for one month to allow for any refunds.
What happens if a member leaves the group?
Members are free to leave at any time, but will not receive a refund for the current month. This allows the organizer to retain a higher participation fee, and the available spots will be moved to the top of the list to fill the group quickly.
Should you share your password?
No, most of the time, services are shared via an invitation link or an email invitation. You then join the group using your own username and password to ensure the confidentiality of your data. In the few cases where this is necessary, a secure manager is made available to you. You may also sometimes use a dedicated profile, protected by a PIN.

Which Le Monde plan should you choose?
Essentiel and Intégrale are single-account plans with no sharing option. Intégrale adds Le Monde Afrique, the paper's archives since 1944, and the La Matinale app. Duo and Famille are the only officially shareable plans: each person has their own account, preferences and notifications. Le Monde is written in French; an English-language edition, Le Monde in English, exists separately with a selection of translated articles, but it is not part of these subscription plans.
How the price of Le Monde Famille has changed
The price of the Famille plan has risen: around €15.99 in 2020, €19.99 in 2022, then €20.99 from 5 January 2023 at the last increase officially announced by Le Monde, converting to roughly €22.99 today for UK subscribers. Split between 4 accounts, that is €5.75 per person.

Le Monde prices in nearby countries

Le Monde promo code or subscription sharing?
Le Monde launch offers are reserved for new accounts and time-limited, often €1 for the first month. Sharing a Le Monde subscription through Duo or Famille brings a recurring saving instead: the price stays lower every month, not only during a promotion.
Frequently asked questions
How can I pay less for Le Monde?
The most reliable option is to use a multi-account plan such as Le Monde Famille and split the cost between members. On Sharesub, a place costs €7.02 / month, fees included, instead of €22.99 for the full subscription. Each member keeps their own account, with their own reading preferences.
What is the difference between Essentiel and Intégrale?
Essentiel gives unlimited access to articles on the website and app. Intégrale adds Le Monde Afrique, the paper's archives since 1944, and the La Matinale app, which sums up the front page every morning. Duo and Famille carry the same content as Intégrale, with 2 or 4 accounts of your own.
How much does Le Monde Famille cost per person?
In Ireland, Le Monde Famille costs €22.99 / month. Split between 4 accounts, that is €5.75 per person. On Sharesub, free places in a group are promoted so that it fills up quickly.
How much is a Le Monde place on Sharesub?
A place costs €7.02 / month, fees included. You save around 69% compared with the price of the full offer. Payment is monthly with no commitment: you can leave the group at any time, and the current month remains due.
Can I join a Le Monde subscription on Sharesub?
Yes, when a place is available. You choose an offer, pay for your place online, and the organiser then sets you up with your own account on the Duo or Famille plan. If all public offers are full, turn on the availability alert to be notified as soon as a place opens up.
How does Sharesub make money?
Sharesub adds a service fee to the price paid by members. It is already included in the price shown for a place (€7.02 / month). Payments are processed by Stripe, a licensed payment provider. As a financial service, Sharesub can verify organisers' identity and hold funds for the relevant period, so that a refund is possible if the month is not used.

Is Le Monde available in English?
Le Monde is written in French. Le Monde in English is a separate, smaller edition with a selection of articles translated into English; it runs independently from the Essentiel, Intégrale, Duo and Famille plans described here.
