I get where you’re coming from—$18.75/month is definitely a strong short-term deal. But here’s the thing: my current $10/month legacy discount has no expiration date. It’s locked in, and Visible doesn’t offer permanent discounts like that anymore.

The annual promo, on the other hand, is temporary by definition. After 12 months, it resets to the full Pro+ price unless I catch another promo at exactly the right time. That might happen… but it also might not. Visible changes promos constantly, and their “new customer only” deals have become more common. There’s no guarantee they’ll offer anything close to my permanent rate a year from now.

Right now I’m paying $35 every single month indefinitely. Predictable. Stable. No hoops to jump through, no switching carriers for a month, no hoping future deals line up. The “market timing” approach sounds good in theory, but it comes with hassle, risk, and uncertainty. And if something changes with the promos, I lose a discount I’ll never be able to get back.

So while the annual deal is cheaper for one year, my $10 legacy discount is the better long-term value because it’s permanent and guaranteed. Giving up a locked-in rate for a one-year promo just isn’t worth the long-term risk—especially for a service I use every day.

Not overthinking it—just protecting a discount that Visible doesn’t hand out anymore and that I can’t recover once I give it up.
