## What is a prepaid subscription

In a prepaid subscription, the subscriber pays for several deliveries at once and then receives them over time, for example 3 months paid upfront and shipped every month. The billing frequency is longer than the [delivery frequency](https://juo.io/docs/glossary/delivery-frequency.md). In a pay-as-you-go subscription, the subscriber pays for every delivery.

## Why offer prepaid plans

* **Cash upfront** and lower [churn](https://juo.io/docs/glossary/churn-rate.md) during the prepaid period.
* **Gifting**: a prepaid plan makes an easy gift with a clear end.
* **A reason to discount**: subscribers accept a longer commitment for a better price.

The trade-off is a bigger first charge, which some customers won't accept.
