For a yearly fee, the only official dollar figure here is Navimow Connect+ after the free period, $32.90 a year. Everything else is a free-period length, a one-time accessory, a secondary report, or Not published. Amazon prices aren't listed. We don't guess a blade price, a battery price, or your electricity bill.

Published lines
These are the published fees, and the good news is a free period stays separate from the yearly fee, as of Oct 10, 2026. The X430 free period is 1 year and the X450 free period is 2 years. We'd keep each one as published, not average them.

Where two sources disagree
We'd plan on MOVA's Ultra 3000 AWD page, which says 4G is free for 3 years. Wirecutter, updated Aug 3, 2026, reports a GPS service of $50 per year after year 1. Both lines are in the table. The two GPS lines disagree, so we wouldn't average them, and the $50 line isn't in the official sum.

We'd plan on Worx's line: lifetime RTK Cloud service at no extra cost. Find My Landroid isn't settled: the amazon.com comparison chart on the WR340 listing marks it included, and Wirecutter treats a GPS module as an extra at about $100. We'd mention that $100 line as reported, once. It isn't added to a yearly total.

The Verge reported Automower Connect cellular as free for life, and we'd treat that as a report, not a fee. The Husqvarna US pages used for the iQ specs don't state a cellular price, so that report isn't an official fee. Blade prices are Not published.
Mammotion says a 4G subscription is required after the free 3 years on the LUBA 3 AWD and doesn't state the price. We'd plan on Not published for that fee. The LUBA mini 2 AWD page states 3 years of 4G data and doesn't state a later price.
The MowGate is a one-time accessory at $449.99 on navimow.com, as of Oct 10, 2026. It isn't a yearly subscription. The Navimow i series calls a 4G anti-theft module an optional add-on and doesn't publish a price. The RockNeo Q110H tracking module is sold separately, and we don't have a price for it. The Worx Landroid M WR147 has no subscription in this set.
Five years, only from the published yearly fee
Five years here uses only the published yearly fee. Season length doesn't change these dollars. No line here is priced per month, and electricity isn't included, because a battery watt-hour figure and a dock standby figure aren't both published. The mower's own purchase price isn't in the yearly sum.
If you leave the form as it first appears, five years of the Connect+ fee, if it were charged every year and the free period were ignored, is $164.50. That figure is $32.90 times 5. It isn't a full five-year cost, because blades, batteries, and the mower's purchase price are Not published. A free year on the X430, or two free years on the X450, would make the paid span shorter. Those free years aren't subtracted here, because the two models don't share one free period.
