Packages and Subscriptions: The Unit You Actually Sell

Pricing Changes More Than Anyone Plans

Vodlix packages and subscriptions are built for the reality that pricing changes more than anyone plans. The price list you launch with will not be the one you run a year later, as markets, competition and content change. What matters is whether adjusting an offer takes an afternoon or a development project. In Vodlix, every package is a small editable record, so pricing changes stay fast and low risk. For OTT operators, that flexibility is what keeps monetisation responsive.

A Package Is an Editable Record, Not Code

In Vodlix, a package is a record with a handful of fields: name, price, billing period, trial length, content access and status. Because it is data rather than code, adding a cheaper tier for one market or a premium annual plan is a few minutes of typing in the CMS, not a deployment. Changes go live when you save them, across web, mobile and TV. Managing offers as records is what makes it practical to experiment with pricing.


One Package Model for Trials, Passes and Plans

Vodlix uses one package model for every kind of offer. Free trials, free tiers, weekend passes, monthly plans and annual subscriptions are all the same shape with different values, so your team manages them the same way in the same list. There is no separate trial system or promotional pass module to learn. A single model keeps the catalogue of offers consistent and makes reporting across all of them straightforward.


Change Packages Without Disrupting Subscribers

Vodlix lets you add or retire a package without affecting the others or the subscribers already on them. Existing subscribers stay on their current plan at their current price when a new tier is introduced, and a retired package simply stops accepting new signups while honouring active subscriptions. This means you can evolve your pricing continuously without disrupting the revenue you already have. Safe changes are what allow pricing to be managed actively rather than frozen at launch.


Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about taking advantage of this limited-time offer? Check out the FAQ for answers.

What counts as a package on Vodlix?
A Vodlix package is anything a viewer buys on a recurring basis, including free trials, free tiers, weekend passes, monthly plans and annual subscriptions, all managed with the same model.
How hard is it to change subscription pricing on Vodlix?
Editing a Vodlix package is a matter of a few fields such as name, price, billing period and content access, so adding or adjusting a tier takes minutes in the CMS rather than a deployment.
Can I run many subscription offers at the same time?
Yes. Every Vodlix package is the same shape, so multiple offers for different markets, campaigns or audiences sit side by side in one list and are managed the same way.
Does adding a new package affect current subscribers?
No. Vodlix lets you add or retire packages without touching existing ones. Current subscribers stay on their plan and price, and a retired package simply stops accepting new signups.
Are free trials also packages on Vodlix?
Yes. A Vodlix trial is a package with a trial length and a follow on plan, defined and managed like any other package, which is why you can run several trials at once.
Do I need a developer to change pricing?
No. A package is a record with a few fields, so adding a tier or changing a price is somebody typing rather than a release. That matters less on the day you launch than it does eighteen months later, when the offer you need is not the one you built.
Do packages apply across web, mobile and TV?
Yes, all of them read one list. Purchases inside the iOS and Android apps run through the stores own billing and carry the renewal terms those stores require, so the apps pass review, but the package itself is defined once.
Where do grace periods and cancellation rules live?
In settings that apply across all packages rather than on each one. That keeps packages small and means changing something like the grace period is a single decision instead of one edit per plan.
