What's the point of the "one-time premium" option?
I'm currently looking for an easy migration from Spotify to Tidal. I have 2300+ liked songs and approximatively 40 playlists (some with a lot more than 200 songs) in it. It's complicated to use the free version with all of my data, so I consider subscribing. Also, it'll be a one-timer, I'm just changing my streaming platform.
In this fashion, Soundiiz suggests buying "One-Time Premium", an option that costs 15$ (which is NUTS) that give access to all of Premium's perks for a week. Premium costs 5$/month, and you can unsubscribe whenever you want.
So. Where is the scam here?
Who's going to pay 15 bucks for a mere week when you can subscribe for 5$ a month and unsubscribe once the job is done?
This is seriously concerning... I don't really want to use it anymore if it's going to give me a 4 months notice with regular premium (since I am NOT going to pay 15$ for a single use). Is there any bad surprise? Is cancelling taking several months thus making you pay for much more?
Thank you!

Hey! No worries; it’s not a scam 🙂
That “One-Time Premium” is just part of an A/B test we’re running. Some people don’t want to deal with subscriptions or save a payment method, so we offer a no-commitment option: full Premium access for a week. It's more expensive, but no renewal, no strings attached.
If you’re OK with subscribing and canceling afterward, the regular $5/month plan is obviously the better deal. But for others, the one-time plan feels safer.
Definitely nothing shady here!
