Outright vs. subscription: the 5-year math

Most vanity-number companies rent you a number monthly. Here is what owning one outright actually saves over five years.

The rental trap

Most vanity-number providers charge a recurring monthly fee. Stop paying and you lose the number — and everything you printed it on. The number lives in their account, not yours, and prices tend to rise over time.

The ownership model

We sell numbers outright. One payment, registered to you, portable to any carrier, no recurring charges. Numbers start at $49 one-time.

The 5-year comparison

A typical $24.99/mo subscription costs about $1,499 over five years — and you still do not own the number. An outright number from us is a one-time cost (from $49) that is yours forever. For most buyers that is well over $1,000 saved, plus an asset you can keep, sell, or transfer.

When subscription might make sense

If you only need a number for a few weeks, a short-term rental can be cheaper. For anything you will print, advertise, or build a brand around, ownership wins quickly.
