Is a coffee or drink subscription worth it?
The key number is how much you save on eligible drinks you would buy anyway.

Calculate your break-even point
Subtract the subscription price per drink, if any, from the regular price of the drink you would otherwise buy. Divide the recurring fee by that saving and round up to a whole purchase. Our calculator performs that arithmetic using the prices you enter.
Use realistic visits
Count eligible purchases, not every drink you consume. Check time limits between redemptions, daily or monthly caps, participating locations, size restrictions and excluded drinks. A convenient location matters more than an attractive theoretical maximum.
Review renewal and cancellation
Promotional introductory pricing can differ from the recurring price. Read the current provider terms, the billing interval and cancellation process before subscribing. We link to official program pages rather than treating a dated offer as permanent.
