I don't think so? $10/m is better than $200 lifetime for cashflow. Unless your company has $200 in cash and it can't get a better return by doing it's business.

It may look like $10/m is 60% annual interest rate vs. $200 lifetime, but take into account the risk of not needing $thing and the risk of dealing with a company that offers lifetime so can't sustain itself, I would say that the monthly becomes more attractive. If it is a choice between say $200/m vs. $400 lifetime, then really the $/m is too high or the lifetime offer too low. On the other hand, in lean times you are going to see people cancel stuff they don't really need. They should be doing that in fat times too, but maybe it is less of a motivation.
