Before joining a group Chess.com
Co-subscriptions are easy to understand, but it's a good idea to check how they work before you get started. Here are the answers to the most frequently asked questions.
Is it compatible with Chess.com?
Sharesub offers cost-sharing for all subscriptions that include a group plan. However, be sure to review the terms and conditions for sharing services, and avoid subscriptions from other countries: this may limit the available content or even block access to the account.
How are payments handled?
Your peer-to-peer transactions are processed in accordance with European regulations (PSD2): the identities of the organizers are verified, and payments are held for one month to allow for any refunds.
What happens if a member leaves the group?
Members are free to leave at any time, but will not receive a refund for the current month. This allows the organizer to retain a higher participation fee, and the available spots will be moved to the top of the list to fill the group quickly.
Should you share your password?
No, most of the time, services are shared via an invitation link or an email invitation. You then join the group using your own username and password to ensure the confidentiality of your data. In the few cases where this is necessary, a secure manager is made available to you. You may also sometimes use a dedicated profile, protected by a PIN.

Chess.com Free, Gold, Platinum or Diamond: which costs least per person?
Chess.com has no paid equivalent on Sharesub, so the question is not which chess site to pick but which plan to take. Lichess, the main alternative, is free and run by a non-profit, with no subscription to share. The comparison below therefore covers the Chess.com plans available in the UK, billed annually and shown per month, with a cost per person based on 6 accounts for the Friends and Family plan.

How the Chess.com price has changed since 2018
Chess.com had not changed its prices since 2009. On its membership page, the yearly Diamond plan was shown at $99 in June 2018, still $99 in June 2021 and again $99 on 2 August 2022; other currencies were simply that reference rate converted, which put it at £75 in June 2018. On 1 September 2022 the site reworked its plans and rates, citing more than 35% of inflation: the reference rate moved to $119.99, up in some countries and down in others, with existing members keeping their price. It has not moved since, still $119.99 in early December 2025. Chess.com now sets a price per market: in United Kingdom the yearly Diamond plan is billed £109.99, and the Friends and Family plan £189.99 a year for 6 accounts, which is £31.67 per person per year.

Chess.com prices in other countries

Chess.com promo code or subscription sharing?
Chess.com mainly runs one-off discounts: a 7-day free trial per account, which also covers the Friends and Family plan, a 50% student discount verified through UNiDAYS, a 30-day money-back guarantee on a first purchase, and seasonal sales. None of them carry over when the subscription renews. Sharing Chess.com Family brings a recurring saving instead: the price is lower every month, not only in the first year. Chess.com also explicitly allows you to invite people who do not live under your roof.
Frequently asked questions
How can I pay less for Chess.com?
The most reliable option is to use the multi-account plan Chess.com Family and split the cost between the members. On Sharesub, a place costs £3.84 / month, fees included, instead of £109.99 a year for a Diamond membership bought on your own. Each member keeps their own Chess.com account, with their own rating, game history and stats.
How much does Chess.com Family cost per person?
In United Kingdom, Chess.com Family costs £189.99 a year for 6 accounts, which is £15.84 / month once spread over the year. Split between 6 people, that is £2.64 per person. On Sharesub, free places in a group are promoted so that it fills up quickly.
How much is a Chess.com place on Sharesub?
A place costs £3.84 / month, fees included. You save around 76% compared with the price of the full offer. Payment is monthly with no commitment: you can leave the group at any time, and the current month remains due. That is the difference with Chess.com, which bills the Friends and Family plan once a year.
Can I join a Chess.com subscription on Sharesub?
Yes, when a place is available. You choose an offer, pay for your place online, and the organiser then sends you the invitation to join their group. If all public offers are full, turn on the availability alert to be notified as soon as a place opens up.
Do we have to live in the same household to share Chess.com?
No. Chess.com says the Friends and Family plan can be shared with whoever you like, wherever they live. The organiser invites each member by username, by email or through a link that expires after 72 hours. You never have to hand over your login details.
What is the difference between Platinum and Diamond?
Gold removes adverts and gives you unlimited puzzles, lessons, videos and games against the Coach. Platinum adds unlimited Game Review and game analysis. Diamond, the tier included in the Friends and Family plan, adds coach explanations on every one of your moves in Game Review, plus Insights, which breaks down your strengths and weaknesses. In United Kingdom, Diamond costs £109.99 a year on your own, against £31.67 per person per year in Chess.com Family.
Is there a free trial or a student price for Chess.com?
Yes to both. Every account is entitled to a 7-day free trial, available on Gold, Platinum, Diamond and on the Friends and Family plan: a payment method is required, but nothing is charged if you cancel before the trial ends. Verified school and university students get 50% off Premium plans through UNiDAYS, with a different rate in a few countries. Cancelling stops future payments without refunding the current period: you keep the benefits until it runs out, then the account returns to the free version.
How does Sharesub make money?
Sharesub adds a service fee to the price paid by members. It is already included in the price shown for a place (£3.84 / month). Payments are processed by Stripe, a licensed payment provider. As a financial service, Sharesub can verify organisers' identity and hold funds for the relevant period, so that a refund is possible if the month is not used.
