- Aggressive weekly subscription pricing relative to the lack of updates drives negative sentiment, which will likely compress revenue as users churn.
The SWOT
- Clean interface provides efficient workflow for quick asset generation
- Introduce one-time purchase option to convert users who reject recurring billing
