Think of any service or SaaS you regularly use throughout the year: Would you prefer to pay for it on a recurring basis, non-recurring basis or would you prefer to pay once?<p>.. a couple things to note:<p>1. By non-recurring, I mean you pay for a specific period e.g. 2 months, but your subscription is not automatically renewed at the end of that billing period.<p>2. By "pay once" I mean you access the service as-is but forfeit access any future updates and upgrades.
I personally don’t trust pay once anymore…<p>For recurring / non-recurring depends on the product. But the model of pay non-recurring is something I prefer in a private setting and sometimes even in a business setting.<p>If use you product every 3-4 Months, let me pay for the month I use it.
