Best Ways to Monetize an App Without Ads

Pick one. An app with four prices is a menu nobody finishes.

1. Alma — so the paid job is what you post

People will not pay for a tip that never mentioned a product. Slideshows of the paid outcome, scheduled. $29/month for 500 slides, or $199/month with no cap.

2. A subscription for a weekly job

Plans, logs, reminders, a library you update. Say the period and how to cancel.

3. A one-time purchase for a finished tool

It keeps working if you go quiet. Do not rent a flashlight.

4. A paid add-on

Extra seats, history, or an export. The free app has to be a real smaller product.

5. A paid setup

You do the first configuration. Only if you want that work. It is not a substitute for a price on the tool itself.
