Listen Later

In this episode of the Mobile Dev Memo podcast, I speak with Thomas Petit, a well known voice in the mobile ecosystem and a veteran of the podcast. In the episode, we discuss all things related to subscriptions for mobile apps, including:

  • The current state of web acquisition for subscription apps;
  • The timeline over which web acquisition gained traction for subscription apps;
  • The downsides of web acquisition for subscription apps;
  • How web acquisition differs from app acquisition;
  • How gaming apps and subscription apps pursue web acquisition differently;
  • The measurement benefits of web acquisition;
  • How and whether the FTC's recent "click-to-cancel" rule will change the dynamics of web acquisition for subscription apps;
  • Whether Apple or Google will crack down on web-based acquisition for subscription apps.
