Ensure seamless integration—make onboarding smooth and intuitive.

• Place the paywall in the onboarding flow (60-80% of buyers convert here).

• Show the paywall before requiring sign-up (higher conversions).

• Offer a seamless sign-up experience (minimize friction).

• Test sending a push notification 5-10 minutes after users abandon onboarding to remind them of the paywall.

• Use a hard paywall for niche apps (fitness, meditation, etc.).

• If not using a hard paywall, add a subtle ‘Maybe Later’ option instead of an X.

• Gamify onboarding (e.g., progress bars, streaks).

• Highlight app benefits clearly before showing the paywall.

Personalization & Social Proof

• Ask personalization questions (“What’s your main goal with this app?”).

• Use social proof & testimonials to build trust.

• Borrow credibility (e.g., stats from studies).

• Use AI-generated recommendations based on user input.

Ratings & Engagement

• Add a ratings prompt after the first open (or second).

• Ensure the prompt feels natural and doesn’t disrupt the user experience.
