- Money back cover of 30 days lets a household try the filters before paying for a full term.
Cons
- Canopy's yearly plan costs $99.96 to $150, above the €65.76 median across the brands compared.
- Monthly billing runs $8.33 to $12.50, also above the €7.89 median, and Canopy ranks 69 on monthly price.
