SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Free-to-paid conversion often stalls because paywalls appear at the wrong moment, hide value, or use friction-heavy upgrade flows. This Skill provides structured guidance for designing in-app paywalls, upgrade modals, and feature gates that convert users after they have experienced value. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Paywall Trigger Design: Defines when to show upgrade prompts across feature gates, usage limits, trial expirations, and time-based prompts, with frequency caps and cool-down rules. - Screen Component Templates: Provides copy and layout patterns for feature-lock, usage-limit, and trial-expiration paywalls, including headlines, pricing display, social proof, and escape hatches. - A/B Testing Playbook: Ships a references/experiments.md catalog of test ideas covering timing, pricing presentation, copy, trial structure, and personalization. - Use Case: A SaaS team notices low trial-to-paid conversion. Use this Skill to redesign the trial expiration screen with value summaries, early warnings, and a one-click upgrade path, then select experiments to validate the change. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to redesign your trial expiration paywall screen using the paywall-upgrade-cro skill, including headline, value recap, pricing, and CTA.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I design a paywall that converts free users to paid?▼

Show the paywall only after users experience real value, demonstrate what paid features unlock with previews, keep pricing clear with monthly and annual options, and minimize steps to checkout. Always include a visible escape hatch to preserve trust.

When should I show an upgrade prompt in my app?▼

Trigger prompts after an aha moment, when users click paid-only features, hit genuine usage limits, or approach trial expiration. Avoid showing prompts during onboarding, mid-flow, or repeatedly after dismissal.

What should a trial expiration screen include?▼

Include early warnings at 7, 3, and 1 days, a summary of value received and features they will lose, a clear explanation of what happens on expiration, and a prominent continue-with-paid CTA plus downgrade or remind-later options.

What paywall elements can I A/B test?▼

Test trigger timing, headline and CTA copy, monthly versus annual price display, trial length, number of visible plans, social proof, and frequency caps. Track impression rate, click-through, completion rate, revenue per user, and post-upgrade churn.

What paywall dark patterns should I avoid?▼

Avoid hiding the close button, confusing plan selection, guilt-trip copy, asking before value is delivered, blocking critical flows, and overly frequent prompts. These patterns damage trust and increase churn after upgrade.
