How it works

Each subscription is turned into a yearly cost. A weekly price is multiplied by 52, a monthly price by 12, a price charged every 3 months by 4, and a yearly price is used as it is.

Total per year = the sum of the yearly costs. Total per month = total per year divided by 12. The 3-year and 5-year figures are the yearly total multiplied by 3 and by 5, assuming prices stay the same. Each subscription's share is its yearly cost divided by the yearly total.

For the plan comparison, yearly saving = (monthly price × 12) minus the yearly price. The saving in percent is the saving divided by (monthly price × 12). The yearly plan becomes the cheaper choice once you would have paid more than its price in monthly payments, which is the first whole month after yearly price divided by monthly price.

What it cannot tell you

  • It assumes prices stay the same. Many apps raise prices over time, and a low first-year or trial price often renews at a higher one.
  • It does not include sales tax or VAT if your prices are shown without it, and it does not convert between currencies. The currency symbol is only for display.
  • A yearly plan is only cheaper if you keep using the app. Most yearly plans are paid up front and are not refunded if you stop part way through the year.

Common questions

To work out the yearly cost of a monthly subscription, multiply the monthly price by 12. A subscription at 9.99 a month costs 119.88 a year. For a weekly price multiply by 52, and for a price charged every 3 months multiply by 4.

A yearly subscription is usually cheaper than paying monthly for the same app. It is only cheaper if you keep the app for most of the year. To check, multiply the monthly price by 12 and compare it with the yearly price.

When a free trial ends, most app subscriptions renew automatically and charge the full price to your payment method. To avoid the charge you normally need to cancel before the trial ends, often at least 24 hours before. Check the renewal date and price on the sign-up screen before you start a trial.

To cancel an app subscription on Android, open the Google Play Store app, tap your profile picture, then tap Payments and subscriptions and Subscriptions.
