Libro.fm Annual. Correction 2026-09-11: the annual discount of 5% was removed from "Libro.fm Annual". The recorded $14.17/mo is this plan's own note's $169.99 yearly total over 12 months, so the saving is already inside the figure, while the page prints the percentage as a further discount off the same row — offering a reader $13.46/mo. Removed rather than moved: no rate above it is named anywhere in the note. The note still describes the term in full. No price changed.
