i keep seeing "free for a year" and i don't know that you misunderstand it but i feel like a lot to. it is "free until dec 2014" so it's only "free for a year" for day-1 buyers.
also i'm very curious to see the subscription model they use after that free period is over.
lastly, how valid this pricing comparison really? i mean how many people really have all 4 programs?
