Quiz preview

Monthly Cost Versus Yearly Cost for a subscription means:

Paying yearly is often cheaper per month but requires more upfront
Monthly and yearly pricing always cost the same total over a year
Monthly plans are cheaper overall since you pay less each time
Yearly plans are always the better deal regardless of your situation

A service costs 2000 in local currency/month or 18000 in local currency/year. The yearly plan saves:

2000 in local currency per year — one free month for choosing the annual plan
6000 in local currency per year — 24000 in local currency monthly vs 18000 in local currency yearly
18000 in local currency per year — the full annual fee counts as your saving
Nothing — both options cost the same when calculated per month
