The short answer

Our Start plan costs $2.99 a month and renews at the same price. Krystal's Amethyst plan is advertised at £7 a month; Krystal does not publish what it renews at.

Choose Zinn Digital® for LiteSpeed Enterprise on NVMe storage, daily backups, malware protection, staging and a CDN on every plan, support in 58 languages, servers in the EU and a team that moves your site for you.

Krystal may still be the better fit if you already rely on its own tools, or need a plan larger than the entry plans compared here. Its current range is on its own pricing page. Krystal pricing
