A big one I’ve been seeing a lot lately is advertising annual subscriptions as monthly rates. It isn’t $12/month subscription if I have to pay $120 in a lump sum up front. The actual monthly rate is often basically double what they’re advertising.

Sounds like they are giving you two months free if you pay with a lump sum in advance.

Yes but it's always advertised as "$12/MONTH" in big letters with billed annually written somewhere small and non-obvous.

Which is a fair discount, but it should be like "15 a month, 120 if you get a year up front" right?

		`$15/month * 12 months = $180 $12/month * 12 months = $144 $120 / 12 months = $10/month`
