Well, now that the initial euphoria of relief has set in, and I've had a chance to compare what you get for a $200 subscription with Onstar vs a $63 subscription with CAA, things look pretty different.
Price $63.60
Towing 10 km* ($98.58 plan gets you 200km)
Extrication Service 1 truck ($98.58 plan gets you 2 trucks)
Emergency Gasoline Free delivery of gas ($98.58 plan gets you free gas)
Trip Travel Insurance $100,000
Trip Accident Assistance** $300
Lockout Service $50 ($98.58 plan gets you $100)
Specialized Towing Equipment No charge if required
Alternate Service Reimbursement Specific limits
The Onstar plan gets you some neat things like notification if the airbag deploys (which is handy if you crash (God forbid) in a remote area), remote unlock (which I have to say is a great feature when you need it), stolen car location, & remote horn & lights in case you're that absent minded and lazy that you lose your vehicle and can't wander the parking lot to find it.
For what you get though, my money is on CAA & my cellphone (which I've already accepted as a sunk cost).
