How to use the result

Use the True 5-Year Cost to compare providers. A service that offers a "free" first year but charges $199 upon renewal will cost you nearly $800 over five years. A flat-rate provider charging $125/year will cost $60 minimum5 over five years. Always optimize for long-term flat pricing.
