There aren’t that many different plans to choose from. You would need a Business plan at minimum.

Hi!
To install the plugins that you’ll need for that functionality, you’ll likely want to purchase the WordPress.com Business plan:
Choose the Business plan to create a supercharged WordPress website with plugins, third-party themes, and everything else you need to host a professional website. This guide explains what’s included in the WordPress.com Business plan. Included in the Business Plan The Business plan gives you: WordPress hosting. Everything included in the free version of WordPress.com. EverythinThat will allow you to set up plugins such as WooCommerce Subscriptions and Google Ads. In addition to giving you automated backup/security/updates to keep your site up and running and a world class WordPress-specific support team.
You could also start out with the WordPress.com Premium plan:
…and then use WordAds for advertising and The Paid Content block for your subscriptions. That might be a great way to get started. but it will likely limit you a bit in the long run. That said, it would be very simple to start with the Premium plan and then upgrade to the Business plan down the road.
All in all, it really depends on what your plans are. If it were me, I’d go straight with the Business plan. But if you’d care to share a few specifics about your site plans, we could perhaps give you some additional advice.

Thank you for the information.
Our website is a sports news website, in order to access some in-depth stories we ask for a subscription and some of the articles are free to read.
We also want to have web ads on our page to earn from clicks, but want to offer NO-ADS. option to paying subscribers.
With that, it will be great to have a progressive app that our readers can download which works on Android and IOS.
Also, if we can personalize the feed of the reader as per topics selected, that will be great. -
Hi there,
Our website is a sports news website, in order to access some in-depth stories we ask for a subscription and some of the articles are free to read.
This is possible using the built-in paid content options we offer on WordPress.com. You can learn more about the Paid Content block here:
Use the Paid Content block to accept one-time, monthly, or annual payments on your website for access to exclusive content that you create – video, images, text, or anything at all. Engage your audience with exclusive content while earning money to support your website. Overview The Paid Content block (formerly known as the Premium Content block) allows you to restrict content on a page orThis will allow you to make entire blog posts “subscriber-only” by placing the entire contents of your blog post within this block. It also opens up some interesting options such as the ability to publish blog posts where some content is free, and some content is subscriber-only. For example, you could write a portion of your blog post as normal (so anyone can see it) but then place the rest of the post in a Paid Content block so only subscribers can “continue reading” so to speak.
We also want to have web ads on our page to earn from clicks, but want to offer NO-ADS. option to paying subscribers.
For ads on WordPress.com, you can decide where ads appear based on where you place the Ad Block on your site.
Use the Ad block to insert an ad unit anywhere within the content of any post or page, and also in widget areas. Your site must be enrolled in WordAds to use the Ad block. Add the Ad BlockBlock ToolbarAd FormatAlignmentBlock Settings Add the Ad Block To add the Ad block, click on the + Block Inserter icon and search for “Ad”. Click it to add the block to the post or page. 💡For example, you could place ads on your free posts, but leave them out of paid posts, so when a subscriber is reading exclusive content, there are no ads present.
There is not a specific way to turn off ads site-wide for subscribers. We do not have that option built in. However, it may be an option by adding a 3rd party Memberships plugin instead.

With that, it will be great to have a progressive app that our readers can download which works on Android and IOS.
We do not offer an option to turn your site into an app, so you would likely need to approach an outside developer for help with creating one that ties into data from your site. The good news is that the WordPress.com site itself will be “mobile-responsive” so that it will provide as good of an experience on mobile devices as it does for visitors using a traditional computer.
Also, if we can personalize the feed of the reader as per topics selected, that will be great.
This is interesting. Can you explain how this would work? Is there an example you can provide of other sports news websites that offer this option so we can see it in action? Happy to advise once we have a better understanding. Thanks for the additional info!
