Sensor Tower found that the service's in-app subscriptions have brought in approximately $185,000. This means that, at $7.99 a month after a one-week free trial, over 33,000 - or 24% - of the service's app downloads had resulted in paid subscribers at the time of the study.

A Sensor Tower representative said that, based on independent research, for most subscription video on demand services, one-third of users who download the app convert to a paid subscription. This suggests that DC Universe is tracking slightly below the average so far.
