💳 Paywall & Pricing Analysis

Pricing distribution

Where most subscription apps land. The fat middle ($5-$10/mo) is where most users have anchored - undercut for volume, charge higher only with strong differentiation.

The 4 paywall patterns that actually convert

• Free trial → annual. 7 days free, $39.99/yr after. Best for daily-use apps. Annual upfront protects revenue from churn - the standard for habit / fitness / wellness.
• Free + paywall after N actions. User completes 2-3 actions then hits paywall. Best for utility / one-shot apps. Show value before asking.
• Hard paywall. First screen after onboarding is the paywall. Highest LTV per signup but burns 80%+ of installs. Only with brand awareness.
• Freemium with feature gates. Core free, advanced features paid. Hardest to monetize - users find workarounds. Usually combined with another model.
