6 most popular monetization models
A monetization model is a method by which you earn money from a product or service. Here are some of the most popular models and examples of well-known companies:
Freemium. To grow business and acquire customers, companies offer free versions to customers but for a limited time or with limited features. To unlock the upgraded features, the customer has to opt for paid services.
Examples: Zoom, Dropbox, MailChimp, Evernote.
Subscription. This model allows the customer to get services by paying a fixed amount every month or year. In this case, the company has to provide enough value to its customers, so they visit the website over and over again.
Examples: Netflix, LinkedIn, Amazon Prime, Spotify.
Marketplace. A company acts as a middleman between two individual parties and creates value for both demand and supply. It makes money through commissions.
Examples: Airbnb, Uber, eBay, UpWork, SamBoad
Franchise. A company (franchisor) licenses its resources and intellectual property to transfer it to an individual (franchisee). The franchisee pays a one-time fee and regular royalties. The franchisor provides training, support, and marketing assistance.
Examples: McDonald’s, Subway, Marriott, 7-Eleven.
Ads. This model refers to a revenue generation system in which users don’t have to pay for the services offered. But the business still earns revenue streams from companies that advertise on this platform.
Examples: Google, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter.
Transactional. This is a model related to digital payments. Each successful transaction generates revenue for the company by charging commissions to users or money recipients. Crypto exchanges, payment systems, and financial institutions actively use it.
Examples: Mastercard, PayPal, Apple Pay, Stripe, Binance, Bitpay.
