People bring Fanatical in for filling a steam library with back catalogue titles at a few pounds each through a build your own bundle, buying a recent release at a discount from a source with publisher agreements rather than a grey marketplace, picking up a headline title on a star deal that undercuts the concurrent steam sale price, buying several copies of an inexpensive multiplayer game for a group without paying full price each. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Fanatical are worth a look before you commit to a tier.

Before you pay for Fanatical
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: a single tier at Free. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.
Fanatical runs on web, and is published by Fanatical, Focus Multimedia Ltd of Staffordshire, England, United Kingdom. The full record is on the Fanatical review, and the rest of the category is under best gaming tools.
