Paypal Recurring billing - pro? standard?

Question

I am setting up a site where users can subscribe on a yearly basis. I have it complete through the payment pro api but completely missed the charges. If i understand it correctly, its £20 a month for pro and £20 a month for repeat billing. Is this correct?

To create a subscription site, is paypal pro my only option ? does paypal offer other, cheaper options?

Really confused with their site and information.

Answer 1

You could use PayPal Website Payments Standard and use subscription buttons. There is no monthly charge for this service. The only charge would be a transaction fee for each transaction or subscription charge.
