Shapr3D
Hey Shapr3D team, here are four ideas for your paywall, each backed by data from 78,000+ paywalls.

as a working screen
to your art direction
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.
We opened Shapr3D on iPhone the way a new user does, followed it to your plans, and compared that page with the market.
Adapty powers subscriptions for 30,000+ apps and publishes what it sees in State of Paywalls 2026, so we can put your paywall next to the market rather than next to an opinion. We signed up in the iPhone app, tapped through to your plans on app.shapr3d.com, read your App Store listing and your pricing page, and looked for gaps between what you already have and what you show at the moment someone decides.
Four ideas follow. Each is a test you can run, each carries a number from the report, and each is built into a clickable prototype. Benchmarks are for Productivity apps in Europe, your App Store category and your home market.
We did not redesign your app
The prototype is your blue, your mono plan tags, your square cards, your check lists and your own trial timeline. We moved things you already publish closer to the button. 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 you have already run one of these, tell us and we will go deeper on the rest.
Your paywall against the report.
Top paywalls = 100 top iOS paywalls reviewed in State of Paywalls 2026. These describe common practice, not what converts. Cells marked Adapty data come from the report’s platform data instead.
Ranked by what we would test first.
Offer changes before cosmetics: in the report, plan and trial changes win more A/B tests than visual ones. Each row opens the screen in the prototype.
Show yearly and monthly side by side
Your iPhone app sends people to a page of four long tier cards, and only the yearly price is in them. Put Solo yearly and Solo monthly on one screen, keep yearly selected, and move Studio and Enterprise behind “Compare all plans”.

Put your trial timeline next to the button
You already wrote it: Today full access, Day 12 a reminder, Day 14 the charge, cancel any time 24 hours before. It sits far down shapr3d.com, while the card people tap says only “Start 14-day free trial”.

Put your 4.7 and Editors’ Choice on the paywall
4.7 from 34K App Store ratings, Editors’ Choice and “loved by over 1 million users” are all yours. None of them appear in the plan cards, which is where someone decides whether €179.99 is worth it.

When they leave, offer monthly or the student licence
Leave the plans page today and you land back on Recents. Ask once instead: Solo monthly at €35.99 with the same 14-day trial, or your free licence for students and educators. Both are on your own pricing page.
📊 State of Paywalls 2026 · only 4% of apps show a second paywall; it beats the main one in 45% of apps.See the screen ARPU +10–15%Based on Adapty data
All four put things you already have (a monthly price, a trial timeline, your ratings, a student licence) at the moment someone decides, instead of somewhere else on the site.
