What it is
Nintendo Switch Online (NSO) is Nintendo's subscription for online play, cloud saves and libraries of retro games. Individual and Family memberships are yearly; the Expansion Pack adds Nintendo 64, SEGA Genesis and Game Boy Advance libraries plus some DLC. Family covers up to 8 Nintendo Accounts for one price.
How the tiers compare and why prices differ
NSO prices vary less by region than PS Plus or Game Pass, but they still differ, and NSO is not sold in every country (some regions have no eShop). Family is almost always the cheapest option per person, since it covers up to 8 accounts that don't have to be one household.
The Expansion Pack costs noticeably more than the base membership. It's only worth it if you want the N64, Genesis or Game Boy Advance libraries, or the bundled DLC (such as the Animal Crossing and Mario Kart add-ons). Otherwise the base Individual or Family plan is enough.
You need NSO for online play in most Switch games; free-to-play titles are usually exempt. It also includes cloud saves and the classic-game libraries.
