Cost per use = monthly price ÷ monthly uses. Annual difference = monthly price × 12 − annual price, only when an annual plan exists. Annual billing requires upfront payment and continued use; check cancellation terms. Suggestions are prompts for review. Essential services are never automatically marked for cancellation.
