What the comparison shows
Our price records for Student (monthly) hold only the $8.99 entry recorded on October 23, 2026, so there is no earlier student price to set beside it. Individual (monthly) has a much longer history, running from $9.99 reported in October 2015 to $15.99 reported on April 10, 2026. Because the student history is so short, our records cannot show how the student price moved over the years the individual plan covers.
