How this is calculated
Every figure here is an average of verified observations only — never interpolated, never estimated. Currency conversions use ECB reference rates dated to the day the index was computed.
"Entry-level" means the cheapest active plan per service. "All-plan average" includes every active tier. Historical observations are stored append-only, so a correction updates going forward, not retroactively.
