Full Provider Data

All providers with promo-to-renewal pricing, ranked by markup percentage.

Methodology

Hosting & Domains: Renewal Shock % is calculated as ((renewal − promo) / promo) × 100. We use each host's featured plan and each registrar's .com pricing.

Email Marketing: Email tools use volume-based pricing (cost scales with subscribers), not promo-to-renewal. We show cost at each subscriber tier instead of a simple markup percentage.

All prices are verified monthly through direct checkout testing and published pricing pages.
