Year figures are the disclosed rate × the charges in a year (13 for a plan billed every four weeks), plus any membership the company requires and publishes at a fixed amount. The Cost-Efficiency Index is our own and is printed unmodified — no provider can buy a point. Partners are listed first as a block, as they are everywhere we rank on this site; every row beneath that split is still ordered strictly by twelve-month cost within its group. Assume any provider we list may compensate us — we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. See the disclosure.
