Who never knows how to be seduced by a free trial offer? On the Google Play Store, there are countless the number of applications offering subscriptions to newspapers, magazines, music streaming (Deezer, Spotify) or to video on demand services like Netflix.
This system is also widely used by video game publishers. In exchange for a fee of a few euros, these platforms allow you to access additional levels or unlock new elements (characters, weapons, etc.) in order to increase the gameplay or progress faster..
In most cases, these plans come with a free trial offer of 1 month or more. This system thus allows publishers to publicize their services. In most cases, payment and subscription to these formulas is done directly in the application.
