SUBSCRIPTIONS — QUESTIONS CREATORS ASK

What renewal rate should creators aim for?

Healthy subscription creators commonly retain the large majority month-over-month; sharp drops signal cadence or value gaps. The retention guides cover diagnosing and fixing churn.

Free trial or paid-only?

Trials fill the funnel but attract churners; paid-only filters for intent. The guides compare conversion math for both models by niche.
