Channels & delivery
First work out what you're actually buying
This page lists no stores and gives no rankings. It only explains the difference between four common delivery methods, so you can tell instantly what a quote is selling.
| Delivery method | What you get | Who owns the account | Main risk | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Top-up | One month activated on your own account | You | You must hand over credentials; if the seller's payment method fails, renewal fails | Long-term use with chat history and custom settings |
| Ready-made account | An already-activated account | The seller | They can change the password or 2FA; contents aren't guaranteed | Short-term use, no sensitive content |
| Key code / CDK | A self-service redeem code | The issuer | Expired or failed redeems can only be handled by the original platform | Instant automated delivery |
| Team seat | You are added to someone else's workspace | The organisation | An admin can remove you any time; history stays with the org | Temporary needs that can end without notice |
| Official prices | Your own account, billed by the vendor | You | Highest price, cross-region payment friction | Long-term primary use, zero account risk |
Three rules of thumb
Rule 1: delivery decides risk, not price
When you see a low price, ask "how is it delivered" before "how much". The same ¥120 means something completely different for a top-up (a service fee) and a ready-made account (rent).
Rule 2: prefer channels that leave a trace
A public price page, records you can look back at, and a reachable support entry point are the three minimums. If all you have is one DM window, you'll have no evidence when something goes wrong.
Rule 3: start small, then commit
On a first deal, buy the smallest tier only. Get one full delivery and one support case through, then talk about annual. Annual discounts usually save 15–20% — not worth betting a year of spend on a stranger.
Where this page stands.We don't resell, guarantee or take commission — so there is no "recommended store" column here, and no affiliate-tagged links. To verify a price, go to the Official prices and Official API pages; every row there links to the vendor's own pricing page.
