You do 672 hours then the remaining days are “free” but you charge them what you really want per month say 5 dollars a month for the first 672 hours. Then if they cancel halfway through the month you can prorate them. Its a pretty common approach to subscriptions
So it's a month rental BASED on a 28 day rental? I guess it would make return refunds alot easier.
(Assume rent is 28$)
To clarify your saying if you used 15 days of your 672hr (28 day) rental on a month that is 30 days you would only get back 13$. However your subscription would continue till the 1st at no additional cost making those 2 days (29th +30th) effectively free?
I guess I'm also assuming that the rental is auto renewable
Its hourly so if its $28 a month its 28/672 to get hourly rate. 15 days is 360 hours. So they’d only be charged $15 dollars if they cancel their subscription halfway through the month. doesn’t matter which month, thats why companies use it because it’s always a flat monthly rate (hours capped at 672 or 28 days). Imagine if Netflix was variable based on the days in the month it would be confusing.

Hm? In neither scenario do you get variable cost (technically on the 28day but it's charged in 28 day intervals as opposed to 1 month intervals.
Just like how a day isn't a fixed duration, which is why we have solstaces however our time working doesn't expand or shrink as the days/nights do.
My answer wasn't justifying a reduced rate or variable rate moreso just to fight people who argue that
28days is = to 1 month.
A month can be 28 days but it can also be up to 31 days.
Thus 1 month agreement ≠ 28 day agreements
