I have a proposal that's in one sense the best of both worlds: auto-canceling subscriptions. Like where you automatically stop charging the user if they stop using your service.
I take it that the cognitive overhead of perennially re-evaluating whether you're getting your money's worth is a big reason developers like pay-as-you-go. And the biggest reason you wouldn't be getting your money's worth is that you're not using the service at all.
That's how my startup does our tiered pricing and I just wrote a blog post trying to convince other startups to do the same: http://blog.beeminder.com/autocancel http://blog.beeminder.com/autocancel
EDIT: I thought I'd try spinning off a separate discussion on auto-canceling subscriptions if folks are interested: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5664998 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5664998
