This is sneaky, but everyone seems to be doing it these days.

They in big letters advertise €1.53 per month, but on checkout you discover they don't offer any monthly payment plans, you can only pay annually, and paying "only" one year upfront the price is 36% higher. For the price you thought you'd be getting you need to pay 3 years upfront.

That's been pretty standard practice for over 10-15 years. Pricing needs to be scrutinized well before purchasing anything online, especially anything subscription.
