      @gruber Could you elaborate on how you see subscriptions solving the free trial problem? Do you mean users can cancel after the first month?

      @mjtsai I think you saw this from @rosyna, but if the full-functionality is a sub, you can offer a 1-week or 1-month trial at start.

          @gruber Thanks. Does the app have to be functional without a sub, like with IAP?

          @mjtsai Unclear. My comparison: Spotify (freemium) vs. Netflix (useless without subscription).

          @gruber @mjtsai @rosyna so there's no try and buy. It's just try and subscribe. I feel try and buy would be more useful.

          @MayurDhaka @gruber @mjtsai @rosyna what if the subscription price was yearly and cost about the same as an app purchase?

          @mdrockwell I’ve thought of that. It amounts to upgrade pricing except is probably perceived better?

          @MayurDhaka it’s essentially upgrade pricing, but the upfront cost to the user is identical…

          @MayurDhaka … and the developer gets a bigger cut the second year. In my mind, it’s the best option for everyone.
