Subscription vs F2P Cost Comparison
Compare the total monthly cost of a game subscription against free-to-play spending to decide which option gives you better value. Enter the subscription fee, your typical F2P spending, and how much the subscription perks reduce your in-game purchases to see the real cost difference. Play hours let you compare the cost per hour of entertainment.
How It Works
- Sub Total = Sub Fee + F2P Spending × (1 − Saving Rate)
- F2P Total = F2P Spending as-is
- Cost per Hour = Monthly Total ÷ Monthly Play Hours
