First-month rate

Definition

An introductory price that applies once and then lifts. “From $49” is very often this. ⛔ We do not record a first-month rate as the monthly price, because the number that matters is the one you pay in month three. Where a seller publishes both, this register carries the standing rate and notes the intro.
