Why would you want to pay One unit at a time vs Paying monthly?

This will depend on your specific requirement and how you plan to study, preference on payment schedule and availability of funds.

For example: If you prefer to pay a lower amount every month – a monthly subscription option will work better. Pay one unit at a time works well for those who wish to just purchase the first unit and take their time completing it, which could take a couple of months or more for some users. In this scenario your next payment will be in a couple of months rather than monthly, but the payments are larger.
