Other Ways to Save Money
The Friends & Family Plan
Family Plan most cost-effective way to get Diamond-level features. You can share one plan with up to six people (yourself plus five others). At approximately $199.99/year, if split six ways, the cost drops to about $33 per person. This represents a 72% saving compared to buying individual Diamond memberships.
The 7-Day Free Trial Strategy
Every account is eligible for a one-time, 7-day free trial of any premium tier. Choose the Diamond Trial to test every feature, including Insights and Coach Explanations.
Just remember to cancel at least 24 hours before the 7 days are up if you don't want to be charged. If you do forget to cancel, Chess.com offers a 30-day money-back guarantee for first-time subscribers.
Annual vs. Monthly Billing
Like many services, Chess.com rewards commitment. Switching from a monthly to a yearly billing cycle significantly reduces the "per month" cost. Paying for a full year upfront typically saves you 41% compared to the cumulative cost of 12 individual monthly payments.
