Compared on what lasts: selection control, cadence, and renewal terms — never the intro offer. One credited referral is all a subscription is to us, so we have no reason to oversell it.

Read this first Intro prices are marketing; renewal prices are the plan. We show indicative ranges and point you to current terms — we do not copy live prices. A coffee subscription earns its keep only if the renewal price still beats what you’d buy anyway; run it through the cost sheet before committing.
