Last I checked, you need to take at least 43 rides a month for a monthly PATH pass to be cheaper.

For the NYC subway, the OMNY system has automatic fare capping if you use contactless payment. That essentially means that you will never pay more than $33 a week as long as you use the same contactless card with every ride. At most, that works out to be about $5 more expensive than a monthly metrocard which is a flimsy plastic card that you’ll have to buy and refill at a vending machine.

I’ll also add that the metro card is being phased out next year if I recall correctly. The fare capping is going to be the new “unlimited monthly”
