or if you pay monthly/or if you pay by monthly installments

My comment:

I prefer the first suggestion. I assume you will use 'either' in the first part though 'either' can also be left out in the first part and you can still start with 'or'

Either you make a flat monthly payment

My comment:

When it comes to monthly payment of say services normally three options are made available to customers. Either it's a pay as you go, a flat monthly payment determined in advance, or an ordinary payment, the amount of which is determined only at the end of the month. In the question submitted, I think it conveys the idea of a monthly flat rate which is determined in advance and remains constant.

or you subscribe for a monthly tariff plan

My comment:

When you pay a certain amount, say Eur 20, a communication company may allow you to make tariff free calls for 30 days. In that case, you maybe said to have subscribed for a monthly tariff plan, as oppose to a pay as you go kind of tariff plan
