In this pricing table welcome offer says 34.99 per 3 month which feels like you pay 35 euro for every 3 months but actually its only for the first 3 month and it auto renews at 69.99 euros.

i am not even sure how can this be legal.

    Uh… that’s not the issue I was expecting you to have here. Don’t we agree that 34,99 / 12 = 2,91 instead of 2,72 per week, making this the blatant lie? Not to mention that 20 €/month is quite obviously 5 €/week under the assumption of one month being equivalent to four weeks.

    Funnily enough, even assuming 29/30/31 days per month and 7 days per week doesn’t match either “weekly rate”. I have no idea what they’re doing other than writing anything down to make it seem like a “low price”. Similar to the “only 1 € per day!” offers.

      seems like their math is, roughly:

      1 month = 30 days // "on average, days per month"
30 days / 7 days = ~4,29 // weeks per "average month"
34.99 / (3*4.29) = ~2,72 // and this is the weekly price for the 3 "average months".

        Thank you, kind stranger, I didn’t consider this variant! Certainly creative, but not optimal.

        If they chose instead to work with

        1 year ≙ 365.2422 days
365.2422 days / 12 months ≅ 30.44 days // per month on average
30.44 days / 7 days ≅ 4.35 weeks // per avg. month
⇒ 34.99 € / (3*4.35 weeks) ≅ 2.68 €/week  ∧  19.99 € / 4.35 weeks ≅ 4.59 €/week

        their weekly rates would be even cheaper! Amateurs.
