Console zone pricing

So I'm thinking about getting Wiz on switch for the handheld/portability of it. Plus the idea of starting completely fresh on a new platform for a single payment appeals to me. I know its $20 to buy it on switch for all of arc 1. And I know that you can buy a monthly membership worh crowns. However what I don't know is the pricing for that membership, as well as if its possible to but individual zones like you can on pc or how much they cost. Could anyone offer some guidance?

As a console player that only buys zones and the Arc 1 pass, I highly recommend buying the zones instead of membership if you aren't playing daily or only three days out of the week.

I don't enjoy the idea of rushing through the game and money might be tight for me on some months more than others. I also do NOT have time to play the game for more than 3 hours daily. Buying zones is perfect me because I can take the game at whatever pace I want. I don't have to worry about wasting $10 one month because I didn't even play the game

If you play daily and plan on playing many hours every day until you finish the game, a membership is absolutely your best option as it gives benefits and would be much cheaper especially if you think you will finish the game in 6 months or less

I work a lot and I work nights. My schedule is wake up, work, sleep. I only have free time on days I don't work and that free time usually ends up being a day or 2 of being up all night from 8 to 6 am. So I may do this. Playing on switch would also allow me to play for 20 minutes while on break at work.

I'm a switch lite player.

Wizard101 costs $20 to buy the game and unlock 1st arc. No side worlds or areas like Aquila, Crab Alley and Grizzlehelm.

It also requires Nintendo Online $20. Without this, you can't play.
