So if I want both web and phone blocked it’s over $20 a month? Nope. Just don’t use it.
No, I don't think so, two different price because AppStore and PlayStore take cut around 30% when you purchase through them. Meta is passing Apple and Google tax to costumers if they choose.
The point I’m trying to make is that I have to buy both?
I think you should read the article
I did and missed that thank you.
Why would anyone pay extra 2 €/month for what is basically minor one-time convenience?
One reason is because Apple and Google make canceling monthly renewal easy, but mostly because people aren't aware they can get better deal in web. It against Apple and Google ToS for an app to redirect their user to website for payment.
