Your math is wrong. you have 210 transactions at $10... total of $2100.

1+3+6+9+13+18+25+34+46+35+20=210 * $10 = $2100.

So net not a huge difference, but more money in the recur (if the recur is that high).

One of the things you have to look at in that situation is the PPS payout rate versus the recur payout rate. You have to retain every customer 3 months to break even, retain them 4 to have an advantage. In that situation, the PPS is a better bet (low risk). If the monthly billing was $30 instead of $20 (so net $15 instead of $10) you would only need 2 month retention to get the same money. Then it would be more difficult to choose.
