  • E6 - Does ARR suck compared to MRR?
    Oftentimes a yearly subscription can feel more like a one-time purchase as users churn without you even knowing (that is until you notice a steep drop off next year) or perhaps many consumers are experiencing “sticker shock” and passing on a $500/yr service, instead purchasing the more expensive in the long run, $50/month service, but does this mean ARR really sucks compared to MRR?
    Well, it depends. Find out which is best for your business in today’s episode!

    Every day more and more developers are choosing to sell subscription services and digital products (like WordPress themes and plugins!) over project-based work.
    In today’s episode, we’ll reveal why!
