Begin With Value: Monetization Serves the User

Sketch the exact steps users take to succeed, then mark friction points where premium features remove effort or increase certainty. Monetize those moments, not the first launch screen.

Choose Models That Fit Your Use Case

Price around outcomes users actually hire your app to achieve, not feature checklists. If the job recurs daily, consider subscription; if it is occasional, offer one-time unlocks.

Choose Models That Fit Your Use Case

Create regional price tiers, student or family options, and honest lower-cost plans for emerging markets. Use purchasing power parity thoughtfully to grow reach without discounting perceived value.

The Three-Screen Narrative

Sequence three lightweight screens: proof of progress, benefits that unlock next, and a simple plan choice. Keep copy specific, visual, and honest about cancellation.

Smart Timing Beats Aggressive Timing

Trigger paywalls after success moments, not during onboarding. For example, show it after exporting a first project or completing a streak. Celebrate progress, then present options.

Evidence Over Hype

Back claims with data, social proof, and transparent limitations. Avoid dark patterns. Clear comparisons and a fair trial reduce regret and refunds while lifting conversion.

Experiment Like A Scientist

Pair revenue metrics with countermetrics like retention, session length, and reviews. Success requires uplift without harming health. Make this package the definition of win.

Experiment Like A Scientist

A classic pitfall is mistaking correlation for causation. Use holdouts, geo experiments, or server-side flags to measure true incremental impact, not just surface conversions.

Retention Is The Strongest Monetization

Anchor cues to real life moments, deliver variable rewards that feel meaningful, and end each session with a clear next best step. Consistency beats gimmicks.

Compliance, Payments, and Platform Nuance

Maintain a living document tracking App Store, Play, and regional rules. Schedule monthly reviews so surprises do not ship. When in doubt, ask platform reps early.

Compliance, Payments, and Platform Nuance

Implement retries, grace periods, and gentle dunning flows with clear language. Surface failed payments proactively in-app and via email to preserve access and goodwill.
