Abonnement annuel ou mensuel : quand le moins cher coûte plus

Notes et exemples originaux (en anglais)

An annual subscription saves $72 over a full year—but costs $48 more if Leo only needs six months. Compare the same fictional service at $20 per cancelable month or $168 upfront for a non-refundable year.

At eight paid months, monthly totals $160. At nine it totals $180, so annual first becomes strictly cheaper in month nine. Then check the difference between a rolling monthly plan and an annual commitment billed monthly.

Which would change your choice most: uncertain use, cash needed today, or cancellation terms? Share your reasoning without private account details.
