I've found the best thing is to pay annually (best price), for 2 or 3 services.... they don't always "break" at the same time, sometimes one recovers faster than the other, etc. EXP is not working for me now on iPhone, mac, nor windows...... another one , viper, working great on iPhone, not on MacBook.... back in May, viper was down for almost a month, while EXP recovered very quickly and worked great.... until it stopped working.
I'm actually thinking to splurge on a third one, which would raise my cost to about $300 or so per year, but I can't live without outside news.....I'm here 90% of the year, can't afford no outside news.
