The weightloss app simple is blatantly lying about the welcome offer. (i.redd.it)

In this pricing table welcome offer says 34.99 per 3 month which feels like you pay 35 euro for every 3 months but actually its only for the first 3 month and it auto renews at 69.99 euros.

i am not even sure how can this be legal.

seems like their math is, roughly:

1 month = 30 days // "on average, days per month"
30 days / 7 days = ~4,29 // weeks per "average month"
34.99 / (3*4.29) = ~2,72 // and this is the weekly price for the 3 "average months".

    Thank you, kind stranger, I didn't consider this variant! Certainly creative, but not optimal.

    If they chose instead to work with

    1 year ≙ 365.2422 days
365.2422 days / 12 months ≅ 30.44 days // per month on average
30.44 days / 7 days ≅ 4.35 weeks // per avg. month
⇒ 34.99 € / (3*4.35 weeks) ≅ 2.68 €/week  ∧  19.99 € / 4.35 weeks ≅ 4.59 €/week

    their weekly rates would be even cheaper! Amateurs.
