Subscription fatigue: from myths to facts to opportunities
summary
Subscriptions per buyer rise year-over-year across regions, average subscription price sits near $8 monthly, and data shows a 7% resubscriber rate with churned buyers taking 79 days to resubscribe on median while returning users boost five‑year LTV by 56%. Discounts convert about two times better than trials; weekly and six‑month SKUs drive high early conversion (weekly = high per‑day LTV, six‑month = highest overall LTV). Recommend SKU diversification, segmented onboarding/re‑onboarding, dynamic pricing, metered free experiences and targeted win‑back discounts.
