Dec 2025·Apple Podcasts
About This Episode
Joined Mark Stiving to break down how pricing decisions influence retention duration, and why the monetization system — paywalls, upsells, renewals, payment recovery — matters as much as the price itself. We also covered time-to-value vs. time-to-success and how product design affects churn.
