Subscription App Optimization: Increase Conversions and Reduce Churn

Subscription Economics

Subscription success depends on acquisition cost, conversion rate, ARPU, and retention. Understand your unit economics to invest appropriately.

Design paywalls that communicate value clearly. Show what users get. Use social proof. Test different layouts and messaging.

Free trials reduce purchase friction. Choose between free trial, freemium, or soft paywall. Optimize trial length for maximum conversion.

Test different price points. Offer annual discounts (typically 40-50% off monthly). Consider local pricing for different markets.

Identify churn signals early. Deliver continuous value. Handle payment failures with grace periods. Communicate upcoming charges.

Re-engage churned subscribers with special offers. Personalize win-back messaging. Time campaigns appropriately.

Track trial-to-paid conversion, renewal rates, and revenue churn. Use cohort analysis to understand retention trends.
