The Annual Advantage

Annual subscribers represent the most valuable user segment with 8x better retention than weekly and 62% higher LTV than monthly. The key insight: framing discounts as "free months" (e.g., "2 months free") converts 50% better than equivalent percentage discounts. Health & Fitness and Productivity apps see the highest annual adoption, driven by users with long-term goals who want to commit upfront.
