One Time Price Vs. Subscription

[Nomad]

You can sell a digital product or service based on subscription model as well as one time price. With subscription model, you will be offering memberships or recurring digital services for consistent income. With one time price, you can charge higher amount and you will make more money per product upfront. Each method has pros and cons but both can become profitable with the right marketing and value-driven offers.

I have always been going with one time payment, i have never tried the subscription method before since i started rendering services.

I think some of the products/services are better offered using the subscription model such as Netflix, Sportify, online newspaper. Customers can pay a lower price upfront and can cancel the service if not satisfied.

I like One-time pricing as it can lead to immediate revenue, reduced churn, and a more straightforward pricing model.

Subscriptions should be for digital products that have a recurring value. And not for ones that have one time utility.

Most online services are sold through subscriptions. It helps the product to be continuously improved and developed.

Lower Customer Support Costs:
Once a one-time purchase is made, there's typically no need for continuous support or updates, reducing the burden on customer service.

If one sells a professional e-book for instance, the person that bought the e-book can still contact the writer for mentorship.
