What they did

Annual $99.99/year with a 7-day trial is the default, shown as a weekly equivalent because the yearly price looks daunting. Monthly plan has no trial and is only visible after tapping 'View All Plans' (shows 12-month and 1-month). Tested showing full annual, annual with monthly equivalent, and weekly equivalent copy.

What happened

Chosen for higher LTV and ARPU; no results given.

We really push the annual plan, like there's higher LTV, higher ARPU, like we incentivize the annual plan. You don't get a trial on the monthly plan, and we don't even show it. We hide it behind another page. If you go down here, if you were to click on "View All Plans," then you get to this like monthly area where you can see 12 months or 1 month, but you get no trial. So we really push annual.

Morrie SchonfeldBut like $99.99 a year is like daunting to people, so we try a few different ways. We show like the monthly, we'll show the weekly. So like one thing we do is like, okay, this worked really well, let's break it down. Like let's try it without this copy. If we change this to a monthly copy, how does that work? Some other things we tested that also work well are it's like yearly monthly comparison. So again, like this is the same first two pages …
