Recurring economics are common enough in this category that duration and renewal eligibility deserve their own comparison, not just the headline percentage.

Several programs can pay before a full purchase, so qualifying-action definitions and lead validation can materially change conversion economics.

Multiple programs publish attribution windows of 60 days or longer, which can matter when the buying cycle includes research across several sessions.

At least one profile has conflicting first-party information. Those conflicts stay visible rather than being normalized into a single convenient figure.
