Annual or monthly billing: which saves more?
Yearly plans are often cheaper per month, but only if you will use the product all year.
Many tools offer a discount if you pay yearly. It is a good deal only if you keep using the tool.
When yearly wins
- You have used the tool for a few months and rely on it.
- The yearly price is clearly lower than twelve monthly payments.
When monthly wins
- You are still testing the product.
- Your needs may change soon.
A simple rule: start monthly, switch to yearly once the tool has earned its place.
