27 euro per month is wild

César Álvarez4 months ago

@DevPaulC Crazy right? I think is the heights I have seen but actually the $9.99 week is pretty common so in reality is much less

DevAfter54 months ago

even that is a lot 40$/month compared to that with educational tools like IXL or Prodigy at 50-100$/year plus YouTube…tons of free content

César Álvarez4 months ago

@DevPaulC Yeah that’s my point $9,99 week ends up been more in a month. But is common price to see so you can get away with $24 in the correct app

Getting users invested with a quiz first builds huge sunk cost before they even see the price. That hard-to-close soft paywall is borderline dark pattern, but it absolutely prints money for consumer apps.

We open-sourced a paywall database, which might be useful for all app developers. Thank you for checking.
