PaywallPro – Analyze and optimize app subscription paywalls

Hacker News

Hi HN, I’m Jason While building subscription apps over the past few years, I noticed a recurring problem: paywall design often decides the difference between making a living and making nothing. • Two apps in the same category can see 3× different conversion rates just because of how the paywall is designed. • Yet most developers lack real data or examples to guide their decisions. That’s why I built PaywallPro. It helps developers, PMs, and designers: • Explore 46,000+ iOS paywall screenshots across categories. • Track historical versions to see how competitors iterate on pricing, design, and copy. • Benchmark with revenue metrics (ARPU, RPD, etc.). • Watch 2,600+ onboarding flow videos to study the full funnel. Try it here: https://paywallpro.app I’d love to hear your feedback, suggestions, or feature requests. I’ll be around in the comments to answer questions.
