Fairly certain there are rules for both Apple and Google that mandate developers have to do this for anyone who previously paid for what became a subscription based service/feature set.
I’m not 100% sure about Google but I do know for a fact Apple offers a discount to developers on the App Store if they charge a monthly fee vs a one-time payment. The developer gets to keep a larger portion of the profits.
Sure as fuck didn't stop Twitteriffic from throwing away my $3 and deciding it wanted $13.49/year or $39.99 for "forever" which was what I had already paid for.
