How to compare the real cost of two plans

By the ComparaUno editorial team · Published on 8 October 2026.

Build the pricing timeline

For each plan, identify the promotional price, its duration and the subsequent price. Keep multiple pricing periods separate. Do not automatically treat the first subsequent price as permanent.

Add up the same time period

Illustrative example only: $12.990 for 12 months and $23.990 for another 12 totals $443.760 over 24 months. The calculation is 12 × $12.990 + 12 × $23.990. This example does not confirm those periods or subsequent prices for current Claro or VTR offers.

Add applicable charges

Identify installation, extra equipment and other confirmed charges. Our catalogue calculator shows monthly prices and explicitly states exclusions. If one plan includes equipment charged separately by another, compare them using the same usage scenario.

Keep missing information visible

Without the promotion's duration or subsequent pricing, there is no reliable total for that period. Use the comparison to prepare questions for the adviser and decide once you have the information.

Compare using the same period

A promotion that ends before the year

Add promotional and later monthly fees to complete 12 months. Use every published price stage without extending the discount.

Installation and equipment

Separate monthly fees, one-off charges and extras. If an equipment or service price is unconfirmed, leave it pending instead of treating it as free.

Calculation example, not an offer

If a hypothetical rate lasts 3 months, the year includes 3 promotional fees and 9 at the next rate. Also review adjustments and contract terms.
