Challenges of Monetizing Subscriptions
One of the primary challenges in the app subscription market is attracting early users and monetizing them effectively. A common struggle is achieving initial downloads while simultaneously converting users into paying subscribers. If an app lacks both downloads and paying customers, it creates a complicated scenario that is difficult to navigate. Focusing on acquiring downloads first allows developers to test different monetization strategies, such as determining which paywalls are effective, thus ensuring a clearer path to profitability.
