Prepay

On this site, a prepay is any plan that charges several months at once in exchange for a lower per-month rate.

A prepay is the most common reason a home-page price isn't the price you can pay for one month. The advertised figure is the per-month rate of a three-, six- or twelve-month term, and your card is charged that rate times the term.

Each review lists the one-month price first and the prepay rungs beneath it. The prepay break-even tool shows how many months you'd need to stay on for a prepay to come out ahead.

Every review that uses it

Each line is the sentence the word appears in, taken from our review of that company, with the full review a click away.

4 of the 119 reviews above use the word only inside a passage too long to quote here in one piece. We would rather link the review than cut a sentence out of the middle of a quotation.
