Hello and thank you for supporting Ryzom!
The Steam subscriptions are slightly more expensive than the cheapest payment option directly via Ryzom. Also the cost per month depends on your subscription period, you get a discount for buying a longer period than just a month.
A direct subscription via Ryzom also have two sets of prizes (to make it even more complicated, sorry). The cheapest option is using WorldPay and a credit card and gives you an automatic recurring subscription. PayPal is slightly more expensive and also requires a manual renewal.
The reason for the differences is that PayPal and Steam charges you extra for performing the payment services.
I hope this explained more than it complicated matters ;)
