> I have frequently rejected a $5/month app that I would've happily both for $30, even if I know I only need it once and can cancel after a month (utility type software usually). I agree but I also want to point out that it is possible to cancel the subscription right after you start it, and that way you are only charged once and you get to use it for the month that you paid for, without having to remember to cancel the subscription later. This is very helpful to me at least. |

Practically I don't do it, cognizant it may not be a rational choice but rather an emotional one (or possibly it is long term rational - I don't want to support that model for apps that don't need updates, further development, or online / server support. E.g. Why is a file duplicate detection app, or file sync app, or data recovery app a monthly fee? If you made it well once I don't need to update it virtually ever - or if I do, than the features must be massive and it's ok to have ver 2 for money. I feel subscription is often a money grab, life fitness hope that people will forget to cancel, rather than some mutual value proposition.)
