Three-year cost, side by side

One introductory term followed by two years at the renewal rate — the number almost nobody quotes you up front.

ChemiCloud $317 $2.49 then $11.95/mo ×4.8
Kinsta $1,260 $35 then $35/mo

Over three years ChemiCloud costs $943 less — about $26.20 a month averaged out. It also scores lower, so the question is whether Kinsta earns the difference.
