What to do about it
- If you are on a plan that moved, the annual rate usually locks the old number for the first term - check before your renewal date.
- If you are picking a new tool, price is one input. The shortlists compare the cheap tiers side by side.
- New here? The 12-month cost calculator shows what a stack really costs before you sign up.
