Apple Unveils 'Contingent Pricing' for App Store Subscriptions

New feature allows developers to offer discounted rates to users subscribed to other services, aiming to boost customer satisfaction and subscription retention.

  • Apple has introduced a new feature for its App Store subscriptions, termed “contingent pricing,” which allows developers to offer discounted subscription rates to users who are already subscribed to another service.
  • The new pricing strategy is designed to provide more flexibility and incentives for both developers and customers, potentially leading to increased customer satisfaction and higher subscription retention rates.
  • Contingent pricing enables developers to set a lower subscription price for users as long as they maintain an active subscription to a different service, either from the same developer or from another.
  • This approach not only benefits users with more affordable subscription options but also provides developers with a unique tool to cross-promote apps and build a more robust subscriber base.
  • Currently in its pilot phase, Apple has announced that more details about this feature will be available in January.
