That said, I haven't been on a plane in 6 months (!) and have no idea what the pricing is now.
Pax do crazy things too... I forget if this was on DL or UA but I once saw someone* pull up the wifi purchase page, scroll through the list of options all the way down to day/monthly pass (one or both were available for purchase in flight), then scroll back up and finally purchased the *more expensive* single-flight pass
I don't remember ever having a problem buying a single month and then canceling... IIRC on Gogo you could basically cancel it once it kicked in and it would still be good through the end of that month.
*not deliberately snooping
but they were across the aisle and one row in front of me so it was readily in my line of sight
