# Is the Annual plan cheaper than paying monthly?

Yes. The Annual plan is priced below twelve months of the Monthly plan, as a discount for committing to a year. It's charged once a year and renews every twelve months until you cancel.

You can see both prices side by side on the [pricing page](https://storagestudio.us/pricing) and on the app's plan cards.
