Before checkout
What to check before paying
The expensive mistake is choosing by headline price without checking the term and catalog fit.
Multiply the effective monthly rate by the actual billed term.
Do not annualize a site you have never tried unless the savings justify the risk.
Compare catalog fit before sorting by price.
Our read The biggest pricing pattern is simple: annual plans often cut the effective monthly rate by 40–75%. The catch is commitment. A cheap year on the wrong site is still a bad purchase.
