Chess.com Memberships, AGAIN
YOOOOOOOOOOOOO, never thought I'd be back again with this topic eh? If you haven't pls read this: https://www.chess.com/blog/NoahPiper/prices-and-memberships
This is Blog #2 in the thing
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, back again if you haven't leave a comment down below, now without further ado let's dive in. ZZZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM.
Note, this is going to focus more in depth on Aimchess(maybe) and something new...Chessable!
Anyway before we jump into Chessable let's have a look at Aimchess,
Photo num #1
Photo num #2
Honestly I won't really complain about the price-what you get, but for Engine Depth, why use Aimchess why shouldn't you use Stockfish, after all Stockfish is free. Now here's the funny thing 7.99 round it up would be $8 and if you look at photo num #1 there is 4 things listed in the circles 2x4 = 8, so if you were to spread the price evenly for all of them then it would be around $2 for a Premium Benefit, not to mention 10 scouting reports per month, and Unlimited Daily Warm up, but I have a feeling that only the premium benefits are for the price, but as I said again, why would you use Aimchess for analysis when you can use Stockfish. So overall conclusion is that the price from 7.99 should be changed to 5.99 lowering it $2 or 6.50. Again from the link in the beginning I also said this somewhere "think of how much money it costs to get AimChess, and Diamond it's just crazy." Indeed it is crazy my dear viewer.
Anyway moving on to Chessable,
According to Chessable "Some courses are paid (cost money). Some are free. Anyone can have any number of paid courses as long as they've paid for them. Non-Pro members are limited to only being able to study actively in five free courses at a time unless they unlock more slots via rubies."
now compare that to this picture
and this one
Wow, did you catch that it says it's free at least 3 times, not saying you can only take 5 courses actively(in my opinion it's enough) but saying it's free when there's some courses that aren't, wow just wow. The courses that aren't free can range from $3 too over $100, at least there's lots of courses that are free, also about Chessable Pro, the prices are m11.99 Yearly=74.99 and Two year=114.99
Let's get an Idea of what Chessable Pro gives you...
K I'll admit 20% discount of over 500 courses is pretty sweet, but same problem with analysis as Aimchess, I don't see a huge problem with Chessable but, yet again, if you have the best on all three platforms aka Chess.com, Aimchess, and Chessable for the max years, your gonna have a price issue, I can imagine. Oh yeah fun fact Aimchess and Chessable are owned by the Play Magnus Group, but got acquired by chess.com :l Chess.com also owns Chess24, not to mention Chesskid, I would like them to lower yearly and two year by 10.99 not a lot but still, yeah.
Welp I think that sums up what I need to say. Now do me a favour, comment down below what you think of the prices.
