Subscriptions

E.g. Pay $10 every month for M1000

• Fixed monthly pricing eg Substack, Notion
• Could provide discount pricing

Autoreload

E.g. Give us your credit card, and buy $10 of mana whenever you fall below M1000

• Usage-based pricing eg Firebase, Vercel
• Also similar to Clipper, credit card payments
• When you type “M10,000” into the “Buy” field, users with autopay could see “your balance is M1234, so your card will be charged $90”

  • [J] There’s some crazy potential to monetize hard lol

Terminology: Autoreload vs Autopay?

• Autoreload is “top up with M1000 when you fall below a threshold”
• Autopay might be “at the end of the month, pay Manifold for your negative balance” (like a credit card)
  • [J] Framed this way makes it sound like a strict penalty to users. Like, now you gotta pay back losses. Instead of gaining something.
    • [s, AP] + 1

Perks

E.g. Advanced features like loans, streak bonus, calibration chart

• Could be a thing you pay Manifold for (eg M500/month for perks)
• Could be an incentive to subscribe to Manifold

Austin’s thoughts

• Like Auto for making margins possible e.g. for shorting stonks
