Why is Free Fire MAX membership better than 100% top-up bonus to get cheap diamonds?

With the growing number of events in Free Fire MAX, the usage of diamonds has increased considerably, with many gamers regularly spending real money on premium currency. At the same time, there is a particular sect of players always looking for cheaper alternatives for the free in-game currency.

Garena often releases a 100% top-up bonus, fulfilling fans' demands, even in the battle royale title, enabling them to get twice the diamonds for the same money spent. However, the question arises: how do these fare against a membership, which is always available within the title?

Membership is a better alternative to getting cheap diamonds in Free Fire MAX

Garena occasionally runs a 100% top-up bonus event in Free Fire MAX, allowing users to receive the premium in-game currency at a lower price. The previous one was available on the Indian server in May 2022 and allowed them to get double diamonds with a maximum cap of 1000. Many players utilized it to fill up their wallets.

On the other hand, memberships are available throughout the year, and gamers have the following options: Weekly and Monthly. On top of this, they may earn Super VIP perks by activating both simultaneously.

Besides diamonds, these also provide several other perks, and the exact details for each are listed below:

Comparison

Method	Weekly membership	Monthly membership	100% top-up bonus
Price	INR 159	INR 799	INR 800
Diamonds	450	2600	2060
Price per diamond	0.353	0.307	0.38

Consider the previous 100% top-up bonus event, where users could purchase a diamond pack of 1060 diamonds for INR 800 and receive 1000 additional diamonds. This reduced the cost per unit down to INR 0.38 instead of the regular INR 0.75, which is a good deal.

When memberships are viewed without even considering the other perks, users can even get diamonds for a lower rate. They will receive 450 diamonds by purchasing a Weekly membership for 159 diamonds at a per diamond rate of INR 0.33. Simultaneously, the cost for the premium currency comes down to INR 0.30.

On the whole, this might not appear to be a big difference initially. However, memberships also bring additional perks, including gun skins and EP Badges, which add to the value.

In the end, it can be said that the memberships are far better than the regular top-up and are just ahead of the 100% top-up bonus in terms of value for money.
