Pay-per-usage of apps (similar to streaming music) might be really interesting. Of course, games already kind of do that via IAP and it absolutely sucks, so who knows.

The way things are going, with a couple mobile games doing billions, and hundreds of thousands of others doing next to nothing, non-IAP pay-per-usage in app stores may well come sooner than most people expect.

Before Photoshop went subscription-based, I assumed they would have gone the IAP route. For example, need a blur tool? Add it for 1.99. Or buy the Retouching Pack for $25.

Pay-per-usage means that apps which are by nature both critical & valuable but also infrequently used, get no money...
