Estimate a lifetime value. Something like a)user will use the service for X number of months and than cancel. b) if i know that the user will be around for x number of months, what would that normally cost c) maybe offer a discount and (d)work out how much you will reinvest . (have not done this but I understand that if you subtract card processing fees, you can offer a good discount and still make something on the deal).
