Yes, these are two completely separate subscription services with different benefits and purposes.
Season Pass (Premium Monthly Challenges):
- Unlocks premium rewards in the Monthly Challenge system
- Costs $9.99/month or $14.99 for current season only
- Focuses on challenge-based rewards like Atlas Bucks, Diamonds, and Season Badges
- Available through web app only
Atlas Explorer Club membership:
- A separate membership program with its own set of benefits
- Independent subscription with different pricing ($49.99) and features
- Offers different perks from the Season Pass rewards
Key takeaway: You can subscribe to one, both, or neither - they don't affect each other. Each subscription provides its own unique value and benefits, so you can choose based on which features matter most to your gameplay experience.
Pro tip: Consider what type of rewards and benefits you're most interested in when deciding between these subscriptions. Some players find value in both, while others prefer to focus on just one.
