What State of Paywalls taught me about the tests subscription apps skip
Adapty analyzed 78,000+ paywalls across 30,000+ App Store apps and dissected 100 top subscription paywalls screen by screen. Visual and copy tests raised LTV in only about 35% of cases, while localization, trial, and plan-duration offer tests won in 59–62%; most apps show every user the same paywall, and only 2% personalize headlines.
What this means for indie developers:Indie developers should prioritize testing paywall timing, offer structure, localized pricing, and post-dismissal second offers over visual polish.
