Smart DNS True Price Calculator - Monthly vs Annual vs Lifetime
Sticker prices hide the real cost: monthly plans are the expensive way to pay. Pick a provider and see every documented term as an effective monthly price, the 12- and 24-month totals, and when a lifetime deal breaks even against the annual plan.
pick a provider…
The honest math
Effective monthly price = term total divided by its months. A "$4.99" monthly plan with a $59 annual plan really costs $4.92/mo if you stay - and most people stay. The lifetime break-even is the one-off price divided by the annual plan's monthly equivalent: past that many months the lifetime deal has paid for itself. Lifetime deals carry one extra risk no math can price: the provider has to survive.
