Alternatives for subscriptions - what is your ~alternative~ pricing strategy?

3
•
I feel like we're getting to the point of subscription fatigue and I'm interested to hear about alternative pricing strategies that might be a good replacement for the typical monthly subscription/annual discount strategy.

At FlashAppy.ai we have experimented with a number of options 1. Credit based; where users can buy credits and top as they see fit 2. Subscription; whether monthly, quarterly, bi-annually or yearly 3. LTD; where users pay a one time fee The best option depends on a number of factors. Like infrastructure costs, unit economics, the type of business you want to build, the customer perceived value, etc.

Could you consider a pay-as-you-go option or a one-time purchase?

Freemium model with optional premium upgrades works well - give basic functionality for free to remove friction and get users invested, then upsell them on advanced features through one-time purchases or subscriptions. A la carte pricing for specific add-ons also an option vs all-or-nothing subscriptions. Key is providing clear value to justify any recurring charges.
