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.

MilesWeb $63.36 $0.72 then $2.28/mo ×3.2

Kinsta $1,260 $35 then $35/mo

Over three years MilesWeb costs $1,197 less — about $33.24 a month averaged out. It also scores lower, so the question is whether Kinsta earns the difference.
