Start with a fair comparison
Use the same country, device and connection allowance. Quote the total payable for the term, including known taxes, mandatory app fees and renewal conditions. Convert a price to a monthly equivalent only after the full payment is clear. If the amounts are in different currencies, keep them in the original currencies until you choose a dated conversion basis.
A “one year” plan can mean twelve months of access with renewal at another price. A “two device” label can mean two installations under one account with one active stream. Record the actual condition. The comparison should be something another reader can reproduce without trusting the label on a sales card.
Put playback evidence next to the claim
Run the same authorized programme in the same app or use equally supported apps and record the difference. A viewer should be able to see the date, local time, device model, stream type and whether there was an error. For live television, include a guide refresh and a named channel edition. For an app feature, show the app version and the documented route.
| Evidence | How it appears in a comparison |
|---|---|
| Provider’s written offer | Attribute the term, amount and date to the source. |
| Playback observation | Record device, version, connection and a controlled test. |
| Missing detail | Leave the field open and say what the buyer should verify. |
| Brand artwork or feature list | Identify the asset without treating it as performance evidence. |
Keep trade products separate from viewer subscriptions
A credit pack is useful only when you know the deduction for a customer activation, the usable balance and the expiry terms. The total per usable credit can be calculated. The total per customer term requires the documented deduction. Ask who invoices the customer, who handles a refund and who has access to the balance.
Read the outcome in the context of your own screen
A review can recommend one documented app route for a specific device and leave the wider service comparison open. Two plans may each suit a different viewing need. The criteria that matter are the ones you can verify before paying. Report a correction if a publisher updates the route or terms and you have a dated source.
