Twelve months paid up front for the price of ten: the creator thinks they're losing two months. The full math says otherwise.

A monthly member stays seven to eleven months on average. An annual member stays twelve months by construction, and renews more often — because they don't face the decision twelve times a year.

Revenue over 24 months for a €12 tier
Monthly, 6% churn176 €
Monthly, 3% churn214 €
Annual at €120240 €
