Friends split the Signature tier—one pays the fee, both attend premieres, sharing hotel costs later. Finally, strategic cancellation after finishing a show and quick renewal when the next film drops keeps the yearly payment under $50 (≈3.3 hours of labor required at $15/hour) for light users.

Economist Niamh Albridge points out that loyalty remains high even after an uptick: “Elasticity sits near minus 0.6, so a 10 percent hike trims demand only 6 percent.” That math lets Passionflix hold headline prices steady, relying on perk tiers for extra margin. Marketing consultant Cassius Greymark predicts any 2026 price bump will appear first in the Signature tier, not the core subscription.
