Personally, I avoid signing up for things all the time that have auto billing after trials. I try out a ton of services and the overhead of tracking them all on a calendar is just not worth it. A simple pop up could make everybody happy if it was indeed user friendly: “would you like to begin your subscription automatically after the trial?”
Also, in terms of consent and automated systems generally, explicit opt in is really the only way to go. Humans just can’t deal with the mental overhead of the hundreds of “contracts” their “services” require now
- tikkabhuna 6y agoFrom my experience with iOS subscriptions you can cancel immediately in the App Store and your trial will continue until the original date.
- jordansmith 6y agoDon’t really need to track trials, I always just instantly cancel the subscription. You still get to use the site/software until your trial expires and then you’re not billed.
- vorpalhex 6y agoIt depends on the platform. That approach works well on Google Play and Apple, but custom subscription platforms can be all kinds of shady.
