Debating business models for my new Scrabble-inspired app:

* play the computer for free; subscription to play friends

* as long as one human is paying, they can play a nonpaying human

* sync with Lex.Games subs. I can detect these from the server. Is that even allowed for Apple-initiated subs?

* free for all but bonus features paywalled

* ads lol

@lexfri Option 2 makes the most sense to me, assuming only subscribers can invite friends. Then the invite button brings up either a share sheet or a subscribe cta.

I think you can get around option 3 by having users declare their sub status (log in with credentials) and just verify on server i.e. opt in
