Overview
Let one payer bring in a partner or family through a shared plan or an extra seat at checkout. Duolingo reported family-plan bookings more than doubled in 2023; price the seats around their serving cost and measure upgrades alongside new sales.
People already share: Netflix says account sharing across more than 100 million households undermined its ability to invest in the service, and Built With Science's partner seat came from users asking for a family plan (Netflix; Built With Science, as retold by RevenueCat).
Fits when
- Products people already use together, or share an account for
- Habits that benefit from a partner (Built With Science's gym buddy)
- Businesses that count revenue per paying account, not per member

Good to knowFit and evidence notes
- Fit to consider
- Where each member has a serving cost (royalties, compute, content) the price per member decides whether each seat pays for itself.
- About the evidence
- No source measures cannibalisation: individual subscribers who moved to a shared plan, or members who would otherwise have paid alone.
Copy includes 2 more limitations, 3 failure modes, the full evidence, and adaptation guidance.
