## How to create a price structure [[00:54]][2]
- Price differently for different customers to maximize value.
- Price based on user needs, not features.
:::info
**One Time Purchases V.S. Subscription**
- In-app subscriptions contribute to 96% of spend in non-gaming apps (App Annie 2020 Report)
- Subscriptions allow a reliable source of renewable revenue and a longer term relationship with customers
- Offer two types of subscription to shift focus from "Do I want a subscription?" to "Which subscription do I want to buy?"

### Social Proof & Urgency [[11:36]][5]
- Share customer testimonials or number of purchases to help validate the quality of your product
- Share remaining inventory to drive action
- Offer limited time deals (such as at sign up)
### Fairness [[13:41]][6]
- People want to feel like they're getting a good deal
>e.g. Uber surge pricing shows how much you are overpaying.
- However, be careful of users just searching for a good deal
