What they did
Web offers upwards of five plans; on mobile the flagship app offers one price because five plans didn't make sense with store limitations and for simplicity. Experiments vary incentives around that single price rather than adding plans. Part of a broader rule to distill the best of web to mobile rather than porting everything.

“the way we offer I think upwards of five plans. And on mobile, it just didn't make sense for variety of reasons across Apple and place or limitations.”
“And so we offer one price, we test with that and we test with different incentives around it, but it keeps things very simple”
