I was thinking about old times where subscriptions were uncommon thing and mainly there was one time paywall. Users just don't mind paying few dollars for every app monthly, which in sum up can be equal to hundreds of dollars, or there isn't any solution for this at all? App developers are chasing money, they don't want to publish their work for just lame one time pay from one user. They want to get from user as much as it possible, logical way to that is by subscriptions. Also what about privacy, every app nowadays has to sell your data for additional money. There are no longer solutions connecting one time paywall with leaving data on Your device. My point is, does it make sense to create new apps more like everyday use so for some people It will be trip helper or sleep sounds so they can sleep better and for others it will be some advanced grocery list etc. with some cool features behind one time paywall and without selling data.
