For music & audio apps
Turn the free listener into a Premium plan.
Streaming apps run one Premium feature set priced by household — Individual, Duo, Family, and a half-price Student plan — on top of a free, ad-supported tier and a one-month trial. CashSDK ships the whole ladder from one integration, with plan-picker paywalls you A/B over the air and revenue you can read the same afternoon you launch.
Plan variants · free trials · student pricing — one SDK, both stores.

How the category prices
A free tier, a Premium ladder, and add-ons on top.
The top music and audio apps acquire on a free ad-supported tier, convert to a Premium subscription priced by household, and layer credits and creator subscriptions on top. Here is how the category really charges.
Funnel top
Ad-supported free
A free, ad-supported tier acquires listeners at zero price, then nudges them toward Premium with skip limits, shuffle-only, and ads.
- Spotify, YouTube Music, Amazon Music, SoundCloud, Deezer, Pandora free
- Apple Music & Tidal skip the free tier — subscription-only
- The upgrade removes ads + unlocks offline and on-demand play
- A 1-month free trial is the near-universal on-ramp

Recurring base
Premium + plan variants
The revenue base: one Premium feature set priced by household — Individual, Duo, Family, and a ~50%-off Student plan.
- Individual ~$11–13 · Family ~$17–22 (up to 6) · Student ~$5–7 / mo
- Spotify adds a Duo (2-account) plan; Family covers up to 6
- Student needs enrollment verification and re-verifies yearly
- Lossless & spatial audio is the premium-fidelity upsell

Credits & creator subs
Beyond flat streaming: consumable credits for audiobooks, coin balances for social singing, and paid creator subscriptions for podcasts.
- Audible credits — 1 credit = 1 audiobook, monthly or in annual packs
- Smule sells VIP + Coins (a spendable balance) for effects and gifting
- Podcast creator subs on Apple (30%→15%), Spotify (~5%), Patreon (5–12%)
- Bought at the moment of intent — a specific book, song, or show

Paywall shapes
Every streaming paywall, rendered from our own components.
The Premium plan-picker, the family plan, and the student discount — the same primitives, themed for streaming audio. These are CashSDK’s unbranded chrome, never a copy of any app’s screen.
