It's strange to me that someone is willing to say this. The $2.99 case is clearly predatory:

I don't think so. They probably got at least $1 - $2 of value during the trial, so even if they don't cancel they're probably ok paying $2.99 for it. This is called "breakage" and is commonly used in financial modeling.

Obviously $59 is a different story.
