On PagSeguro, write the monthly $ price and the prepaid year. Add the documented renew price. If month-12 is missing, 2026-09-09 prepaid is a guess, not cost-benefit.

On Stripe, write the monthly $ price and the prepaid year. Add the documented renew price. If month-12 is missing, 2026-09-09 prepaid is a guess, not cost-benefit.
