If you sign up for a full year it is about $3 a month
I have it but don't go to it much. Got caught up in all this MQA stuff on Tidal. Not much classical yet but Sony and UMG will come on board in the spring

When the library provides movies (DVD and BluRay) for free.
I'm good for a couple hours of streaming a day, if not more. I'm into both TIDAL and QOBUZ about $500 a year total. Did drop ClassicsOnlineHD when they scaled down their catalog just NAXOS.
Might go back.
. . . then the $39.95 per year for Classics Online HD might be very worthwhile.
Two questions:
1. Is that the same as Naxos?
2. Do they have most of the basic piano repertoire by top pianists?
Answers to you questions:
1. No - Naxos is broader in repertoire, but lower in sound quality than the equal-or-better-than-CD quality you get with Classics Online HD.
2. I would not say this is true for Classics Online HD. I suppose the question revolves around what you mean by "top pianists".
The reason I'm once again a subscriber to Classics Online HD is that I see is as an interesting supplement to my regular music library. I used to subscribe to Spotify too. Spotify's catalog is much broader, but the SQ is reduced to a bit rate of 320 kbps or lower, depending on whether you subscribe or listen for free. 320 kbps can be surprisingly good, but, personally, I prefer lossless CD-quality or better - another reason I go for Classics Online HD.
Well, I guess I won't be getting Classics Online.
