PS4 online subscription

Options
My grandson has just got a PS4 for his birthday.  There is a PS4 Online thing, it’s £50 a year with PS4, or cheaper from other suppliers, like CD KEYS.  That seems odd to me, is the other suppliers risky?

    Nothing wrong CD Keys (they will be people who have used CDKeys and had issues with them) but if you would rather buy from a retailer you have heard of eg Tesco etc then use them.
    Maybe CDKeys buy in bulk hence the cheaper price.
    Ive only used Amazon and CDKeys for Xbox Subscriptions.

    So it’s ok to just buy from other places then, thank you.
