Millions of dollars in subscription revenue pass through Flow Builder every month.

Nearly 500 apps actively build their paywalls and onboarding in it — plenty of them past $100K MRR.

What this is

We opened Howbout the way a new user does, then rebuilt the parts we think are leaving money on the table.

Adapty powers subscriptions for 30,000+ apps, so we get to see what actually moves conversion and ARPU across the market rather than inside one app. We pointed that at Howbout: installed it, went through every screen up to the friend invite, read your App Store listing and its in-app purchase list, and looked for gaps between what you already have and what you currently show people.

What follows is five ideas — not fifteen. Each one is a hypothesis you can A/B test, and each one is built into a clickable prototype so you can see it rather than imagine it. The prototype uses your design, not ours.

We did not redesign your app

Every screen in the prototype is yours — the black canvas, the pink-to-orange buttons, the emoji rows, the birthday wheel, your colour categories and the gold Howbout+ paywall. Only the order changed, plus a few things you already own but do not show at the right moment. This is not a design pitch.

You may have tested some of this

We are working from the outside, so we cannot see your experiment history. If one of these is something you have already run, tell us — we will go deeper on the rest rather than repeat it.

The five ideas

Ranked by what we would test first.

Each one links straight to the screen in the prototype.

Potential outcome

Run together, these five move the same funnel at three points — what the flow gives back before the price, what the paywall says, and what happens when someone says no.

Impact ranges are Adapty's expected effect from teardowns and A/B tests across subscription apps — not measured lift for Howbout. Every price, rating, quote and feature line here and in the prototype comes from Howbout's own App Store listing and in-app screens.
