A comment on Free with In-App Purchase is a sham. Parent comment
1. I’m not paying that much for an app
2. Oooh that one’s free
3. Oh if I pay for a monthly subscription I get all these cool features
4. If I pay $X I can get those cool features without paying the monthly subscription fee
It’s not logical, but it’s essentially why the freemium model works and is the dominant monetization strategy currently.
