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.

$0.99-$2.99 176 $3.00-$4.99 234 $5.00-$7.99 287 $8.00-$9.99 373 $10.00-$14.99 529 $15.00-$19.99 243 $20.00+ 630

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.
