Premium membership explanation

Hi everyone, I'm sorry if the question may look simple but I would like to be certain about everything before acquiring a premium membership.

So, taking gold membership as an example, why are there two "methods" in the gold option?

I interpreted it in this way. The second one means that you pay €25.79 at once and you get a gold membership for one full year. The first one means that you pay €3 per month for a full year, so €36 in total. Am I correct? Also, if I would like to stop my membership before one year has passed, can I do it with the monthly plan of €3 per month or am I constrained to pay all the total €36?

If you pay monthly, you won't be charged for the next month  if you cancel. If you pay the yearly membership, the full amount is charged, and if you cancel before the year is up, you will keep your membership until the renewal date, at which point you will revert to a basic membership.

So what is the difference between the following two plans with the label /month? 

€25.77 yearly is not €3 per month, it's just about €2.15. So I don't get the reason for the difference here.

How are you getting two different plan prices? 

The yearly price is discounted; paying monthly will ultimately cost more.

Under the tab Yearly (Save up to 40%) the first image appears, while the second image appears under the tab Monthly. I don't know the reason, maybe it's just an error, but it's what I see

Ah, should have realized that. Maybe there is an error or the yearly month cost is hard coded but the actual price isn't and currency exchange rates cause the difference.

Ok, thank you! It seemed very strange indeed

I see the same thing quoted in dollars.  The top plan is "$9/mo" but "$99 billed yearly" but when you choose "monthly" the quoted price is instead "$14/mo"

Must be some error 🙄Year membership -cheaper in the long run. And if u upgrade later in the year you already have credit which goes toward the next level membership. Whatever you go with you can always cancel within a month anyhow

Maybe they are counting a year as 11 months when paying the yearly amount  

But yes, the year membership is cheaper and is by design. You get a discount by paying for the year up-front.

A yearly membership is $99 US and at current exchange rates for the Euro, comes out to 87.89. That still leads me to think that the per month listing is hard-coded and the actual amount listed is based on the exchange rate the site is getting.
