- mcrider 14y agoAt least with Netflix, there is no free option. I think in this case, 'Subscribers' means that the service requires a subscription to use it at all (whereas freemium has tiered service levels).
- mmahemoff 14y agoFreemium simply means there's a free component to a premium service. The premium part could be subscribers, but it could also be a one-time app payment (with a free app equivalent) or even custom services. Freemium's the odd one out here - it's really a separate dimension - do you have a free offering or not? So any company listed here as freemium should also be accompanied by at least one other (actual) revenue model.
