Frequently asked questions

How do I study subscription models for a business course?

Start with the core terms: churn, recurring revenue, customer lifetime value and free trial conversion. Make a flashcard for each term, then test yourself with scenario questions that ask which metric fits the situation.

What is the difference between churn and retention?

Churn is the share of subscribers who cancel in a given period, and retention is the share who stay. Subscription businesses track both because they show whether customers keep paying over time.

Does the free plan let me export quizzes?

No. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, but exports require Plus or Pro.

Which plan includes QTI and Moodle XML export?

QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are part of Pro at $14.99 per month. Plus, at $39 per year or $7.99 per month, includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export.
