How to read prices: figures without a mark are published by the vendor (billed monthly, or billed yearly as a total). Amber figures marked ≈ were worked out by us, not published by the vendor. Calculated means we worked it out because the vendor publishes only one billing option (12 × the monthly price, or the yearly price ÷ 12); you can't necessarily buy it at that price. Derived means the vendor shows annual billing only as a per-month price, so the yearly total is 12 × that figure. Promotional and limited-time prices are left out (see notes). Prices in USD, before tax.
