Upfront is the cheapest complete purchase without a dartboard. Per year is what removes free-tier limits. 3 years is upfront plus three years of that. Subscription prices are shown as the seller lists them.
What you need
A steel-tip bristle board with the 20 at the top, an iPhone or iPad on iOS 18+ or an Android 7.1+ device (a Neural Engine or NPU is recommended) and a free Autodarts account. A tripod or holder about 1 m from the board, off to one side, with the whole board in view. Even, constant lighting; a ring light is recommended. A second screen or screen mirroring makes the score easier to read.
