How to choose in this category
- Minutes, credits and avatar seats are not interchangeable — work out which unit binds you before comparing prices.
- Two plans at the same monthly figure rarely include the same output; the allowance is the comparison, not the price.
- Check what a free row actually allows before treating it as a plan you could stay on.
