How we think about paywall, packaging & a la carte.
The paywall is the most consequential surface in your product, and the place teams ship the least disciplined tests. We treat paywall placement, packaging, and the a la carte economy as a single connected system, because that is how users experience it.
We run the experiments, watch what happens to cohort LTV (not just the week one chart), and ship the changes that hold.
Any of these sound familiar?
Your paywall has not changed since launch.
You ask for money at the same moment for everyone.
You have a subscription but no a la carte economy.
You are guessing at price points, not testing them.
Where this hurts.
The paywall is the highest-leverage screen in your product, and most teams set it once and forget it. The wrong placement and clumsy packaging quietly cap your revenue, and the boost and super-like economy that prints money for the incumbents goes untapped because nobody has engineered the moment of the ask.
The work, spelled out.
- 01
Engineer the moment
We test paywall placement and triggers: when, where, and to whom you ask.
- 02
Build the a la carte economy
Boosts, super-likes, credits, and visibility, priced and packaged to convert.
- 03
Tier for trade-up
Packaging that moves the right users up instead of bouncing them.
- 04
Test on net revenue
Continuous price and offer testing, judged on net revenue, not headline conversion.
- 05
Protect the experience
The right ask at the right moment, which usually improves experience and revenue together.
The result a partner sees.
- 01
More revenue from the same traffic, through better timing and packaging.
- 02
An a la carte economy that compounds alongside subscriptions.
- 03
A paywall that is tested, not guessed.
Tangible artifacts, not slides.
A reworked paywall and trigger map.
A priced a la carte economy.
A packaging and tier design.
A test program with net-revenue reporting.
