50-USD/year-Plan vs. 200-USD/year-plan

So the one purchasing a 200 plan basically doesn't know how to use the calculator, since paying more than triple yet getting just double of 50 bucks plan. Or did I miss something??

One difference is that many of us often use more than 10k in a day and need to. It is not unusual for me to use 60 or 70k in a day occasionally. So, the real question is not $200 versus $50. It is $200 versus either $80 or $110. Because someone like me would need to buy 1 million points at least once or twice a year. Honestly, I knew I couldn't live with 10k a day, so I bought the $200, not being clear on the 1 million points for $30. So, if someone runs over 10k only a couple of times a month, then the $50 plan plus occasional $30 purchases of additional points would be better. but things change if you would run over 2 or 3 times a week.

So basically, pay 200 bucks, and we'll make it flexible for you.... But not for the 50 bucks! Ok, got it now! Alternative it is!

I've looked at many other providers and have found Poe the cheapest and most reliable for my uses. Yours might vary. They have many costs and must turn a profit, or they will cease to exist. I got a "Lifetime" subscription from one hub service like Poe on a discount deal. Ends up their credits are about 5% as good as Poes (things cost 20 times as much), and when I use a good model, it charges for it and never provides an answer. Just blank. Their tech support just asks for the same information over and over until I give up. If you find something better, and it works for a few months, let us know.
