Ways to cover your stack in SHIFT
How this is calculated
- Your tool tax adds up the monthly list price of every plan you pick, billed monthly (not annual or promo pricing). The yearly figure is that total × 12.
- SHIFT credits are the credits per unit of use × the usage on each card. Your plan sets the usage: entry plans count as light use, mid plans as regular, top plans as heavy. If you pay for two tools in one category, the card uses the heavier of the two once, because one SHIFT studio covers both.
- The percentage is that credit total ÷ the 20,000 credits included in the $99/mo membership.
- Club levels show how long each level's starting credits last at your usage, assuming its 20,000 monthly credits begin in month two. Extra credits cost the same everywhere: $1 per 200.
This compares the cost of tools at the usage shown. It is not a savings guarantee: your plans, usage and prices may differ.
