mostly in mobile games.
Example: digital currencies, health points
Non-consumable: these are features
used permanently.
Example: ad blocking, extension in-app
functionality

additional content and features for a

Example: monthly or annual service
subscription. Can be Auto-renewable and
Non-renewable.

Non-consumable
Subscription
© Сopyright, 1995-2020 7
• Auto-renewable subscriptions give users
access to content, services, or premium
features in your app on an ongoing basis. At
the end of each subscription duration, the
subscription automatically renews until a user
chooses to cancel it.
• Non-renewable subscription is time-
bounded by membership expiration time.
• Software-as-a-Service is a subscription-
based app monetization model that offers a
good option for startups. As long as their
services are well-matched to the subscription
plan. Subscription permits your company to
lure users into long-term payment approach
to increase the lifetime value of clients.

Suitable if your app has a big user base and it has a high
level of users engagement. By using this model, you get
a single advertiser in your App that will tackle all your
App revenue generation potential. Technically speaking,
a sponsor in your App can be presented with an icon,
cover a bigger portion of the App’s interface with its logo,
via a splash screen that is visible to your App users right
after its launch or via Push Notifications.
Two primary sponsorship deals:
• Equally divide revenue from the App
• Set a monthly sponsorship fee

If your business startup operates in the form of
digital marketplace or platform that allows
financial transactions to occur regularly (just like
Kickstarter), the transaction fees will represent
the App monetization model
You can charge:

needs:
• Kickstarter
• Indiegogo

Donations are unlikely to create a competitive
advantage that will be sustainable enough to
cover the development, maintenance and
marketing costs by donations alone.
It is difficult to incentivize users to pay support
you on a regular basis but it could be a nice
trial.
#10. Donation
Good to be implemented to specific Apps

You can make money with your app by selling
branded T-shirts, stickers, backpacks and
other items, or selling the rights to other
companies to do that for you.
This monetization model is relevant for apps
based on a brand that has a substantial, loyal
following like
Pokémon GO and Angry Birds.
