CEO of WhatsApp had been talking about going for a different strategy for quite some time. Last night WhatsApp made the switch from a paid app to a free app. WhatsApp had been a paid app for many years, typically charging $0.99 per user, but from now onwards, WhatsApp will be free but there is a catch.
WhatsApp will be free to download for the first year and after that users will have to pay $0.99 as a subscription fee. A model which has been adopted by many different companies and app developers.
WhatsApp has been facing a lot of competition recently from different free messaging services such as Viber, WeChat and others. Adopting a “year-free model” will give WhatsApp an edge over its competitors who have been following this strategy for quite sometime.
WhatsApp is considered to be a pioneer in the messaging world with a 200 million monthly active user base. Going for the free model will likely make people download WhatsApp more.
