The short version

Is the annual fee worth it?

It earns about $430 a year on the illustrative household's spending, which is $335 once the fee is paid. The best card with no fee, American Express Blue Business Plus, nets $1,058 on the same spending — so this card is $723 a year behind. On earning alone it does not catch up at any level of spending this looks at — its credits and perks have to make up the difference, or the fee is not paying for itself.

Price its credits, perks and sign-up bonus your way — tick what you would use and say what it is worth to you.

Priced on an illustrative household spending $2,205 a month on a card — the assumption, in full. Credits and perks are not priced: they are worth their face value only if you would have spent that money anyway.
