Changes we made to our own record of Bloomberg, newest first: a figure read again on the vendor's page, a plan it no longer lists, a note. None of them is a price change by Bloomberg. Every correction on the site is in the corrections log.

Digital Annual. Correction 2026-09-11: The annual discount of 5% was removed from "Digital Annual". The recorded $33.25/mo is this plan's own note's $399 yearly total over 12 months, so the saving is already inside the figure, while the page prints the percentage as a further discount off the same row — offering a reader $31.59/mo. Removed rather than moved: no rate above it is named anywhere in the note. The note still describes the term in full. No price changed.

This standing as a plaque
Bloomberg currently holds a bronze deskmark here — Rank 7 of 8 · News Subscriptions. Anyone may show it. There is nothing to apply for, nothing to pay, and displaying it changes no score: the standing comes from the published algorithm, which never reads commission data. We never ask anyone to show it, and its link carries rel="nofollow".
The image is drawn from our live data, so it follows the standing rather than freezing it: if Bloomberg moves up or down a tier, the plaque on your own site says so at our next publish. Nothing is tracked beyond the ordinary web-server log that records any image request.
