Spanish term or phrase: abonar una suscripción periódica
El 52% de los internautas apostaría por realizar "micropagos" por contenidos concretos, antes que abonar una suscripción periódica, según una encuesta reciente.

I'm looking for a phrase that is not too literal sounding if possible.
TIA!

disagree  Robin Levey: 'periódica' doesn't mean 'monthly' - it could be quarterly, for example.

taking out a regular subscription


Explanation:
"abonar" literally means pay, but the context here is about starting the subscription, not paying it.
