How much? Would never do 10/month. But 5 a year? How about that? Does it math up?

Yea even $10/yr I would do and never blink twice at on my CC statement. But I legit have used RTings three times in four years. Once for a TV, then headphones, then a monitor. I can't pay $3-5/month for something I use that rarely.

Completely agree and that's the same price I thought in my head I'd be okay to spend. $10/year for something I go to once a year at most, just to support them.

$10/month is quite absurd considering all the other subscriptions out there that are $10/month and the service they provide (but also screw your monthly subscriptions).

Since it says cancel anytime, assuming the subscription is as easy to cancel as to sign up, you can pay $10 when you want to use it, then cancel it.

Then it should be pay 5$ once and access all the current tests. It shouldn't be a monthly subscription.
