Section · HOW WE COMPARE
How this record is built
Sourced from checkout
Prices come from vendor checkout pages and published pricing records, read for this comparison and dated.
Intro vs. renewal
The intro price is the best available rate for new customers; the renewal price is what you pay after the promotional period ends. We show both so you can decide on the full cost, not the teaser.
Staying is valid
A switch isn't always worth the effort. When the incumbent is already the cheapest on file, the verdict says so — it never invents a saving.
Prices and the as-read date are real values, but they move with promotions and currencies — treat this as a dated snapshot and confirm with the provider before you buy. Read our full methodology →
