  • Free + 7-day trial → annual. Best for high-value, daily-use apps. Yearly upfront protects against churn.
  • Free + paywall after N actions. Best for utility / one-shot apps (photo editor, AI generator). Show value first.
  • Hard paywall. Only if you have brand recognition or referral velocity. Burns acquisition cost.

5. Acquisition channels that work for crypto wallet apps

  • TikTok organic. Demo your app in 15s with strong before/after. Cheap, fast feedback on positioning.
  • App Store Search Ads. Bid on competitor names + your top 3 keywords. Track CAC vs LTV.
  • Reddit + niche communities. Drop in relevant threads. Honest framing wins long-term.
  • Influencer affiliate. 30% commission on first-year sub usually unlocks a yes.
