The rise of the Internet of Things (IoT) alongside the booming “subscription economy” presents OEMs with an opportunity to maximize revenue beyond the device sale through the connectivity they require and the data they generate. The rapidly expanding subscription economy provides the perfect catalyst for the growth of IoT.
A 2019 Gartner Research report predicted that “by 2023, 75% of organizations selling direct to consumers will offer subscription services.” Gartner also stated in the same report that “billions of connected devices” would expand commerce, acting on behalf of customers to reduce the effort of making a purchase. But these predictions overlooked an important connection–subscription billing would make the deployments of billions of connected devices scaleable.
The subscription economy is projected to grow from $650 billion to $1.5 trillion by 2025. While subscription billing isn’t new, the proliferation of affordable and accessible smart devices has accelerated its widespread adoption. Smart devices have changed the consumer’s perception of convenience, as everything is now available at our fingertips. Subscription billing offers the predictability and convenience of monthly recurring charges that consumers expect and investors appreciate.
As an OEM of IoT devices, this shift from a goods-driven to a subscription service-driven economy provides you the perfect opportunity to monetize and scale your solution. IoT devices must be monetized beyond the initial hardware sale to cover ongoing connectivity and maintenance costs. Fortunately, the value of IoT for the consumer lies in the data rather than the device, which makes IoT and the recurring charges of subscription billing a great match.
A McKinsey Global Survey indicates that the highest-performing and fastest-growing companies are the ones finding innovative ways to add value to customers through data. IoT devices offer ample data, but this data necessitates connectivity, SIM activation, and cloud access. All of these components can generate recurring revenue when managed through a dedicated billing platform. Meeting the increasing demand for connected devices requires a platform capable of handling massive and widespread activations and transactions without error. From the customer's viewpoint, the payment and device management portal should offer a user-friendly and convenient experience.
With the Zipit Wireless subscription billing platform, you can manage connectivity, SIM activation, and data in one place and provide your customers with seamless data plan management through a customer billing portal. With over a decade of experience in IoT monetization, we’ve helped numerous OEMs scale their IoT solutions. We’re certain that a subscription billing model can unlock new revenue streams and drive business growth for IoT providers.
The following chapters provide practical tips on transitioning from traditional billing to a subscription model and demonstrate the value of IoT through the experiences of OEMs who have monetized their products with Zipit's subscription billing.
Subscription billing charges customers recurring fees at regular intervals, such as monthly or annually, for continued access to a product or service. In IoT subscriptions, customers choose a plan and pay recurring charges for ongoing access to the connectivity, data, cloud services, software updates, device analytics, support, and other services tied to their IoT devices.
In the IoT landscape, subscription billing controls the SIMs that connect devices to the network and allow them to transfer data. IoT SIMs ensure seamless connectivity throughout the subscription period. When customers subscribe to an IoT service or solution, the subscription fee includes not only the device itself but also the ongoing connectivity provided by the SIM card.
For example, when a subscription starts on Zipit’s billing platform, connectivity activates, and the platform begins to monitor the subscriber’s data usage. Notifications are sent to the subscriber if they near their data threshold, and they’ll have the chance to “top up.” If the subscriber’s data goes over a certain amount, the SIM can be deactivated. You can easily adapt and manage connectivity and data plans based on your customer needs, usage patterns, and subscription plans with remote management, over-the-air updates, and easy activations or deactivations.
Subscription billing in IoT is beneficial for you and your customers. As the OEM, subscriptions
Your customers benefit from
Unlike recurring charges with subscription billing, traditional billing follows a one-time purchase model, where customers make a single payment to acquire a product. The customer not only owns the product but also the continual use of its services. Once a customer completes the purchase, the revenue is realized, and there is no guaranteed future revenue from that customer without the purchase of an additional product.
Revenue forecasting for traditional billing is less predictable because it’s more heavily influenced by fluctuations in sales volume and customer demand, which vary over time. With subscription billing, you project future revenue based on the number of active subscriptions and the recurring nature of payments. The subscription revenue flow from each customer is long-term, cyclical, and steady.
Traditional billing can also reduce relationships with customers to infrequent interactions which can result in missed opportunities to improve customer experience. Once a product or service is sold and the transaction is complete, you lack the opportunity to provide additional value that can further improve brand sentiment and give you an edge against the competition. Subscription billing, on the other hand, provides ongoing relationships with customers as you deliver value and support throughout the subscription period. You can better understand your customers’ needs over time and meet them accordingly. For this reason, subscription billing often leads to higher customer retention rates.
Monetizing IoT involves managing complex pricing structures, handling large volumes of data, integrating with multiple systems, and support for scalability. The following characteristics of traditional billing systems make them insufficient in meeting the demands of IoT.
Traditional billing systems often rely on manual processes for invoicing. These manual tasks are susceptible to human error and increase the likelihood of delays, misplaced invoices, and other administrative errors that can negatively impact billing accuracy. Managing and applying different pricing for discounts, promotions, or payment tiers can lead to inconsistencies and overcharging or undercharging customers.
Traditional billing systems lack the scalability needed for large-scale IoT deployments. As device numbers increase, manual billing processes become cumbersome and require additional staffing. Traditional systems are also ill-equipped to handle the high volume of usage data generated by IoT devices. Real-time processing is crucial for accurate and timely billing, but the simplicity of traditional billing processes would delay invoices and usage reports. This limitation can hurt customer satisfaction and hinder the ability to offer dynamic pricing and adjust plans based on usage patterns.
IoT deployments involve devices and services with varying levels of usage. Traditional billing systems lack the flexibility and sophistication to accurately measure and attribute usage at the device or service level. Traditional billing systems aren’t flexible enough to support dynamic pricing, tiered plans, or personalized offerings that cater to diverse customer needs.
Traditional billing methods typically limit visibility into subscriber behavior and usage patterns. Without detailed insights into how customers interact with IoT devices or services, it’s challenging to understand their preferences or needs. Additionally, IoT ecosystems comprise multiple data sources, and traditional billing systems may face challenges in integrating and consolidating data from these diverse sources.
Ensuring data integrity and accuracy becomes increasingly challenging as the complexity of the IoT ecosystem grows. IoT deployments call for more specialized and advanced billing solutions. Subscription billing platforms specifically designed for IoT offer features, automation, and scalability needed to accurately bill for usage and address the challenges presented by IoT deployments.
Monetize your IoT products beyond the initial hardware sale and cover ongoing connectivity and maintenance costs with consistent and predictable revenue streams.
Offer convenient and seamless payment processes for customers where they can easily set up automatic payments, manage their subscriptions, and receive timely invoices.
Foster ongoing relationships with customers through regular billing cycles and access to services with opportunities for repeat purchases and upselling.
Eliminating the need for manual calculations, invoice generation, and payment tracking to save time, reduce errors, and increase operational efficiency.
Reduce customer acquisition costs with regular billing cycles. Track usage patterns and engagement to proactively address customer concerns, identify retention strategies, and reduce churn rates, ultimately lowering customer retention expenses.
Make informed decisions, refine offerings, personalize services, and identify new opportunities for growth by tracking usage data and monthly recurring revenue (MRR).
Zipit Wireless's subscription billing platform streamlines pricing calculations, invoicing, and data usage tracking while offering real-time reporting for accurate and consistent billing. But it also goes above and beyond a typical subscription platform to meet the specific challenges you face with an IoT product.
A concerned OEM approached Zipit about the lack of insights provided by their existing billing system. They discovered that a customer had not paid for subscription services for eight months, yet the OEM had remained unaware and continued paying for connectivity. With automated metering and prepaid plans offered by Zipit's billing platform, the OEM gained valuable insights into customer behavior and avoided unnecessary payments resulting from oversight.
Similar stories are not uncommon. OEMs often find themselves lacking cohesive and actionable insights. Zipit’s data management and billing platform provides usage and connectivity insights across all of your supported carriers and customers in one place, eliminating the need to access data in multiple, disparate platforms.
The Zipit platform accelerated our time to market and reduced the complexities of bringing a secure, Internet-enabled device to market.

The opportunity to create consistent recurring revenue and improve customer retention is the most apparent benefit of subscription billing for an OEM. Additional revenue provides more resources to devote toward innovation to further increase the value of your product. Subscription billing makes this recurring revenue stream possible because it allows you to monetize data–your device’s greatest asset.
According to Deloitte Insights, IoT monetization efforts should be focused on data because “every action of an IoT-enabled device creates new information that can be communicated, aggregated, analyzed, and acted upon.” In contrast to non-connected goods, the greatest value of an IoT product or service lies in the wealth of information generated rather than its operation.
IoT insights also include intelligence on how your customers use and interact with your product. By understanding how customers leverage your product's features, you can tailor your offerings to better meet their needs, enhance their experiences, and proactively address pain points with improvements. Customer usage data enables you to refine data plans, identify opportunities for upselling or cross-selling, and earn customer loyalty.
IoT subscription billing allows you to create ongoing value for customers that can be monitored, measured, predicted, and monetized. Creating value for the end-users first requires a deep understanding of who your customers are and what they need. Without this knowledge, you’ll be making business decisions blindly and starting fragile customer relationships because you won’t know how to best refine your products or create new features to satisfy your customers.
A truly valuable product strikes the right combination of services and pricing. In other words, if you charge more than your product’s perceived worth, then you won’t get as many subscribers. But you have no way of creating or maximizing the value of your product without customer insights. Monitoring the performance of your data plans to identify customer needs and optimizing your services to meet them will help you create ongoing value for end-users who become long-time customers.
With our subscription billing platform, you can track customer usage and manage connected devices with ease. The end-user portal provides customers with a great experience so they’re satisfied and willing to spend more. Subscribers can activate their devices and select the data plans they want on demand. Activations, changing data plans, or topping up on data mid-billing cycle doesn’t require a phone call to your team, saving you and your customers valuable time.
Zipit enables more transparency, which allows the business and the customer to make smarter decisions.

Usage-based billing is a model where customers are charged based on their actual usage of a product or service. This model can be particularly beneficial when there is variability in data usage across customers. It allows for flexible pricing that aligns with the specific needs and consumption patterns of individual users.
Within usage-based billing, you can choose pay-as-you-go pricing or subscription plans. Pay-as-you-go pricing involves metered billing, where usage is tracked to charge customers based on consumption levels. Subscription plans offer larger amounts of data at higher pricing tiers. Customers can upgrade their plans as they need more data.
Fixed-rate billing involves charging customers a predetermined set fee with recurring subscription charges, regardless of their actual usage. With this model, customers pay the same amount consistently, which provides predictability and simplicity. Fixed-rate billing is straightforward but does not provide the customization and flexibility of usage-based billing. Customers may be locked into a specific pricing plan that does not cater to evolving usage patterns. This is a drawback for customers who have fluctuating usage requirements, and low-usage customers often pay for more data than they need.
Bundled billing combines various features or services into a single package, offering customers convenience and cost savings. While it simplifies the purchasing process, bundled billing can restrict future monetization opportunities for IoT providers. For example, bundling the product cost with a fixed service duration raises the question of who will pay for data costs beyond that period.
Without access to subscriber usage data, it becomes challenging to understand usage patterns and offer relevant upgrades. Additionally, the lack of flexibility in bundled services limits customization options for customers. Consider the long-term implications before opting for bundled billing as it may hinder scalability and your ability to adapt to evolving customer needs.
With prepaid plans, customers pay for their data usage in advance. Prepaid plans offer transparency in pricing and flexibility for customers, who choose which subscription plan suits their needs in advance. These plans also simplify the billing process, as customers can top-up their prepaid balance as needed.
Tiered pricing offers subscribers good, better, and best packages of features, services, and usage limits at different price points. Customers can choose the tier that aligns with their specific needs and budget. Tiered pricing allows you to cater to a wider range of customers, providing options for the cost-conscious and those seeking more extensive features or higher usage limits. A McKinsey survey revealed that subscribers appreciate the flexibility of tiered pricing. This strategy encourages customers to upgrade to higher tiers as their needs grow, unlocking additional revenue for your business.
Freemium plans and free trials allow customers to test the value and benefits of the IoT offering before committing to a paid subscription. This strategy can build trust, showcase your value proposition, and encourage customers to upgrade to a paid subscription for full access.
Freemium plans offer a basic level of service for free, with premium features or enhanced capabilities available for a fee. Free trials, on the other hand, provide customers the opportunity to experience the full range of features and functionalities without any charge for a limited time. Both strategies lower the barrier to entry and can attract a wider range of users. However, you run the risk of attracting many users who only find value in the free versions, and, in the case of freemiums, may continue to use your product and services without ever upgrading.
Determine the best pricing for your solution by the value your customers see in it. It's essential to regularly assess and refine pricing and discounts as your business evolves to ensure that it aligns with the value that your product or service delivers. By consistently evaluating and adjusting your pricing approach, you can maintain competitiveness and meet the needs and expectations of your target market.

Implementing a subscription billing model for the first time requires strategic planning and execution. It goes beyond just updating your billing system; it involves embracing new business processes and adapting to a shift in revenue generation. While the transition takes time and may initially bring some challenges and potential revenue fluctuations, in the end, you’ll reap the benefits of recurring revenue and long-term growth.
Through years of experience, we’ve learned the best ways to apply a subscription billing model to a wide variety of IoT businesses. Here are a few tips that all OEMs should follow when making the switch to subscriptions.
Transitioning to a subscription billing model is an opportunity to align your offerings with customer needs and build long-lasting relationships. By understanding your customers thoroughly, you can develop subscription plans that deliver maximum value, foster customer loyalty, and drive revenue growth.
Consider the variability in data usage among your customers. Some may have higher data requirements, while others exhibit more predictable or consistent usage patterns. By offering flexible plans, you can cater to their specific demands and provide a customized experience.
Also, evaluate the affordability of your hardware for your target customers to determine appropriate pricing structures for your subscription plans so they’re accessible and attractive to your customer base.
By not only considering the manufacturing and product delivery costs but also the ongoing costs of connectivity, maintenance, and support, you can establish a pricing structure that covers all expenses and generates sustainable revenue. Accounting for all costs associated with your product guarantees accurate pricing and profitability.

Through experimentation, you can test different pricing strategies, plan structures, and value-added services to find the most compelling offering for your target market. By gathering feedback, analyzing data, and iterating on your subscription model, you can continually improve its effectiveness and adapt to changing customer preferences and market dynamics.
Determining new KPIs is crucial for measuring the success of your subscription billing implementation. Traditional metrics like revenue, customer retention, and customer lifetime value remain important, but you may need to identify additional metrics that specifically capture the performance and value derived from the subscription model. These new KPIs could include metrics related to customer engagement, data utilization, upsells, and customer satisfaction.
As your market evolves and customer needs change, it is crucial to continuously enhance your product. By adding new features, services, or value-additions, you can attract and retain customers, making subscription plans more appealing. This not only increases customer satisfaction but also opens up opportunities for additional revenue streams beyond the initial subscription fees.
An ongoing value proposition involves continually delivering value beyond the initial product sale through regular updates, new features, personalized recommendations, or exclusive access to content or services. By consistently enhancing the customer experience, you can drive long-term customer loyalty.
A single, one-size-fits-all plan will not satisfy all customers and can limit your revenue potential. By providing a range of options, including low-cost entry-level plans and higher-tier plans with advanced features or more data, you cater to different customer segments and their evolving needs. This approach allows you to attract new subscribers with affordable options and build trust over time.
As customers experience the value of your services, they are more likely to upgrade to higher-priced plans, generating incremental revenue and fostering stronger customer loyalty and satisfaction. The flexibility in plan options enables you to meet individual customer preferences and adapt to their changing needs, ultimately driving the success of your subscription billing model.
IoT devices generate vast amounts of data on customer usage patterns, preferences, and behaviors. You can analyze and use this data to offer personalized offerings and promotions. Personalization strengthens the relationship between you and your customers and increases the overall perceived value of the subscription.
Stay ahead of emerging trends, evaluate new revenue streams, and adapt your offerings to align with changing market dynamics. By embracing a forward-thinking mindset, you can position your IoT business for long-term success and remain competitive in the growing subscription economy.

When a subscriber needs more services that require more data, it can be challenging because it involves managing the data accurately, adjusting the billing accordingly, and ensuring that the additional devices and data plans can be seamlessly activated and used by the customer. Meeting these challenges requires a robust and scalable subscription billing platform that can handle the dynamic nature of data requirements and effectively manage the associated billing processes.
Some OEMs allow customers to exceed their allotted data usage and charge them overages. However, you can lose money with overages if customers don’t use the data you pay for. Data top-ups are a better solution because they allow customers to have control over their data usage and expenses while ensuring that you do not incur unnecessary costs.
With data top-ups, customers have the flexibility to add additional data to their subscriptions when they need it, preventing them from exceeding their allotted limit and incurring overage charges. This approach ensures a fair and transparent billing system where customers only pay for the data they use, resulting in cost savings for both the customer and the OEM.
Expanding subscription billing globally can present complexities due to pricing variations, currencies, and carrier relationships. The solution lies in having a platform that supports pricing flexibility and accommodates multiple currencies across different regions. Additionally, partnering with a provider that has direct relationships with global carriers provides a consistent experience for subscribers around the world.
Navigating complex tax calculations can be challenging when implementing subscription billing. The solution involves working with a provider and platform that can handle taxes on a national and global scale. Such a provider ensures compliance with tax regulations, manages tax calculations, and simplifies the billing process by accurately applying taxes based on regional requirements.
Automating the revenue recognition process within an IoT billing platform ensures accuracy, efficiency, and compliance. By automating the calculation and capture of revenue, companies can handle high volumes of transactions, while ensuring their financial reporting is reliable and aligns with regulatory requirements.
Subscriber churn refers to the rate at which customers discontinue their subscriptions. To address this challenge, it is crucial to monitor your subscriber churn rate and take proactive measures to reduce it. When addressing subscriber churn, you need to determine if you’ve made a poor pricing decision or if you’ve not adequately conveyed the value of your solution. Regularly analyzing subscriber behavior to understand their needs and evaluating and enhancing your value proposition accordingly, will increase customer retention.
As the number of subscribers and connected devices grows, scaling subscription billing becomes essential. Your billing platform should handle large-scale deployments, support staggered activations, and efficiently prorate data usage. A platform that meets these criteria ensures smooth operations during massive or staggered activations without compromising accuracy, reliability, or performance.
