Where they actually differ

  • They bill on different clocks. Collective charges every calendar month and Science & Co charges every 30 days. That alone changes what a “month” costs, which is the whole reason this index recomputes every price.
  • Only one carries a mandatory recurring fee. Collective: $17 a month. 360 of 382 sellers charge nothing like it.
  • What they advertise is not what they bill. Collective advertises $69 and bills $86; Science & Co advertises $125 and bills $141.

How we know

The full working for each — the charge, the period, the arithmetic and the date it was read — is on its own page: Collective and Science & Co. The method is set out in how we verify.
