Tide, on its own printed rates

Tide publishes something most of this shelf does not: the same table with and without a subscription, side by side. Pay As You Go carries no monthly fee and a higher rate; Sell In-Person carries a monthly fee and a rate roughly two thirds lower. Its reader range is priced separately, from the Nano upward, and the device is included in the subscription column.
