AI apps grow fast but retain poorly
3 min read
AI subscription apps generate 41% more revenue per paying user but churn 30% faster than non-AI apps. Annual retention sits at 21.1% versus 30.7%. Apps launched before 2020 capture 69% of subscription revenue, while 2025-era AI apps account for just 3%. High LLM costs push developers toward shorter trials and hard paywalls.
