Difference between game review vs game review + explanation and insights

Hi, 

I am trying to decide which of the Chess.com package to buy. The Gold and Platinum are very similar but there are couple of more options when it comes to Platinum vs Diamond. 

In Platinum,  i get unlimited game review but in Diamond i get game review and explanation. I also get a new feature called insight

Can someone tell me what the features "explanation" and "insights" are? This will help me make my decision 

This is the link to the various membership options - https://www.chess.com/membership?c=analysis

For Game Review the Move Explanations are the descriptions given for the moves. Some examples are shown in the help article: https://support.chess.com/article/364-how-does-the-game-report-analysis-work

 

Insights gives a lot of game statistics and missed tactics/mates from your games: https://support.chess.com/article/3056-what-is-insights

Thanks! I guess I don't really need insight at the level where I am. 

What I could not figure is the game review vs game review + explanation. That's still unclear.

Is explanation the Coach - the guy with the pop up who tell which moves could have been better ?

If that's the case, the review just shows the moves without the coach and the explanation part is the coach who tells us the best move and explains the move/blunder/mistake?

Correct. Explanations are the coach comments on moves.

Thanks! Those explanations are certainly helpful! Wish they would have made that as a separation between Gold and Platinum happy.png As is stands, there is no real difference between the two barring the amount/number of times one can use in day happy.png 

Ah well!
