Why Weekly Works

1

Low Commitment

Users treat it as a paid trial, reducing the psychological barrier to entry compared to monthly or annual plans.

2

High LTV Potential

Despite high churn, the rapid monetization cycle generates significant LTV, especially in Utility apps ($58.40).

3

Flexibility First

Aligns with the 2025 consumer trend of prioritizing flexibility and psychological safety over cost savings.
