How we track prices
Prices are monthly, before tax, for plans bought directly from each service on the web. Plans bought through Apple's or Google's app stores can cost more. Each service name links to the page we checked, and the date under it is when we last confirmed the price. The cheapest individual plan in each country is highlighted. When a service changes its prices, we update this page and add the change to the history below, usually the same day we report it.
