Questions

Which plan should I pick?

If you'll use it fewer than the included visits on Standard Plus, Standard (pay-per-visit) can work out cheaper. Frequent flyers who'll clear 13+ visits a year usually come out ahead on Prestige (unlimited).

Do credit cards already include this?

Several premium travel cards bundle Priority Pass membership as a perk. If yours does, the real comparison is the card's annual fee against its other benefits — not this standalone calculator.
