Do you worry about wallet lockin?
If the features offered are worth paying a fee to get, does it make it harder to jump to a different wallet? (Kinda like fiat banks are now?)
If I cannot use my seed into another wallet, it means I am not controlling those keys... so is worthless.
User will look for extra features that could make his life easier, not to lock himself into a walled garden.

Agreed that any wallet that doesn't let you see your seeds is a no go.
But most of the current subscription models are offering very different paid features than discounts at merchants.
Paid features seem more likely to be
- multisig signing coordination
- cosigners (shared keys)
- encrypted backups
- support
- on boarding
I could see services like these creating lockin pressures.
reply
Yes all those could be pro features easily.
Take for example the Bitcoin safe wallet. Can offer many of those as paid features
https://bitcoin-safe.org
Also a LN integration could be a pro feature.
Support is very important and many new users will want it. Support 1on1 is very efficient especially when it comes from trusted and experienced team.
I personally give 1on1 support for many apps, paid consultancy sometimes, depending on the case.
