What is the point of Quick Vs Deep Vs Maximum analysis?

I don't get the point of the three different analysis.Everything seems the same?

For practical purposes, nothing, at your current level - both levels of analysis will be more than good enough to point out mistakes in your games. I'd recommend that you analyze your games by yourself first, before you give them to the engine.

If you give them to the engine right away, be sure to carefully understand why the engine chose every move it chose, instead of the one you played.

I normally use slowest because it gives a cap rating, only reason

Non-paying members can only use the Quick analysis.

Can all paying members use the Maximum? If so, I don't see the point for the Deep one. If the cheapest membership can only use up to Deep analysis, then maybe its there for this reason.

They are definitely not the same, they give different results.

I'd recommend that, instead of using the analysis options here, all players just download an engine and learn to analyze games by themselves.

They could also use the site's engine (Stockfish.js 8 atm) and let it run for as long as they wish(?) for each position

Using an engine is not exactly analysing it by yourself. It is the Engine analysing it, which is why it is nice and convienient to use the inbuilt one,    as it has little added extras like Caps score and how different the moves are compared to an engine and the percentage of computer best moves played. All very useful
