The one you buy directly from Royal mail can be sent to you on a CD, which means you actually have a copy hence you can do a lot more with it.
There are cheaper models where for a subscription fee, your site communicate with the site hosting is as required.

There are advantages and disadvantages.
There one where you have the CD, is not as up to date as the real-time online one. The real time online one is more expensive. But both of them can be accessed from anywhere in the world.
