Per-plan savings for every priced plan, including plans not priced per person: annual vs monthly billing. The stack itself: What a team pays for software.
How we calculate
A pair is the same service and plan on the same page with monthly and annual billing, both with a successful latest check, priced per user, seat or member, without promotional prices.
Monthly billing per year = the monthly price × 12. Annual billing per year = the annual price, or its stated monthly equivalent × 12. Saving per person = the difference, in the page currency; the percentage is the saving divided by the monthly-billing total. Team figures multiply the saving per person by 5, 10 or 25 seats.
The median and the stack totals are in USD: plans priced in EUR or CHF are converted by the dated ECB reference rate recorded with the measurement (both prices of a pair use the same rate). The stack total is the sum over stack categories of the median saving per person among that category’s pairs, times the team size. Taxes and discounts are not included. Rows are ordered by the saving percentage only.
