The quid pro quo of signing up for six months is you get it cheaper. You can always eschew the offer, pay full price instead, and retain the flexibility of month to month.
And Now is not predicated on what it offers, so yes, that is a bit of a lucky dip.
The main problem with the six month offers are (i) that people don’t read the offer, don’t see the six months, often get blinded by ‘free trial’ and see no charges at all; (ii) that Now sneakily pre-tick the boxes for Boost, and any other membership on the table, without informing you, so you get stealth free trials you didn’t explicitly select, which then turn, again without warning, into very unstealth further charges.
(i) is down to the customer to get right
(ii) should be outlawed as an illegal business practice.
Set a Payment PIN on your account so that no-one but you can buy memberships on it.
Check your bank accounts monthly for any other unexpected payments to Now.
That way you can at least nip them in the bud, while you and Now figure out whose fault they are.
