And as someone building an app I do want subscriptions for all the reasons everyone knows about. That's probably why no one really does this despite being talked about for years.

Subscriptions are great for predictability, and most apps should keep them. Small Transfers can be added to help with: - users who dislike subscriptions - infrequent users - reducing/removing free-trial costs for non-converting users A common pattern is hybrid pricing: pay-as-you-go (PAYG) for light/occasional use, a subscription for regular use. Similar to mobile plans, where monthly plans become cheaper above a certain usage threshold. I use this pattern for one of my services: https://unattach.com/pricing https://unattach.com/pricing I believe that Small Transfers also enables services that aren't viable with subscriptions or prepaid credits, e.g., a movie-suggestion service.
