What You Can Build

Improve a Freemium Feature Gate

Create a paywall that explains a locked feature, previews the benefit, and leaves a clear free path.

Refine Trial Expiration Messaging

Build reminders and expiration screens that summarize value received and reduce surprise at downgrade.

Design Mobile Subscription Paywalls

Plan mobile paywall structure, pricing display, restore purchase placement, and dismissal behavior.

Try These Prompts

Create a Basic Paywall 
Create an in-app paywall for a user who clicks a locked feature. The product is [product]. The paid feature is [feature]. Include headline, body copy, CTA, and exit path.
Rewrite an Existing Upgrade Modal 
Improve this upgrade modal for clarity and trust: [current copy]. The user just [context]. Keep the tone direct and avoid pressure tactics.
Map a Trial Conversion Flow 
Design a trial expiration flow for [product]. Include seven-day, three-day, one-day, expired, and post-upgrade states. Show trigger, copy, CTA, frequency, and metrics for each state.
Plan a Paywall Experiment Program 
Create an A/B testing plan for our in-app paywalls. Context: [audience], [pricing], [current conversion], [known objections]. Prioritize tests by expected impact, effort, and risk.

Best Practices

  • Show upgrade prompts after users experience value, not before they understand the product.
  • Make pricing, trial terms, cancellation, and downgrade options clear before payment.
  • Measure impressions, clicks, completions, churn, and annoyance signals for each paywall.

Avoid

  • Hiding close buttons, downgrade options, pricing, or subscription terms.
  • Using misleading urgency, guilt-based copy, or repeated prompts after dismissal.
  • Blocking critical workflows before users understand why the paid feature matters.
