Paywall analysis report
After you select a paywall and upload a screenshot, Adapty analyzes your paywall for established design patterns, highlighting both good choices and improvement opportunities.
What’s working well
This section highlights your use of established patterns that maximize conversion. For example: a visible savings badge, a prominent user review section, or clear subscription breakdowns.
What to fix on your paywall
Adapty groups its recommendations into two categories:
- Benchmarked recommendations: Data-driven suggestions based on top-performing apps in your category. Each recommendation includes a benchmark stat (for example, “Used by 72% of top-performing Education apps”) and a description of what to change.
- Visual analysis recommendations: AI-generated suggestions based on your paywall screenshot. These include: copy improvements, layout changes, and more.
Your growth plan will include A/B test rounds based on the benchmarked recommendations. You can add visual analysis suggestions to the plan manually.
Click Get Market Insights to proceed.
Market and Competitor analysis
The market and competitor analysis requires completing the paywall analysis first.
The Market Insights analysis compares your app’s pricing and conversion metrics to its competitors and the industry average. The comparisons are country-specific. To provide a benchmark, Adapty aggregates and analyzes data from App Store apps in your subcategory and country. it’s not publicly available elsewhere.
Select competitors
Select up to 5 competitors for the comparison.
Adapty will pick 5 automatically, and suggest 5 more. You can manually add apps with an App Store link. For better results, select apps with higher MRR than yours.
Click Generate report to confirm the list, and wait for the analysis to finish.
Select a country
Use the Country dropdown to select one of your top countries for a detailed analysis.
Revenue distribution
This revenue distribution chart shows which countries your revenue comes from, with percentage breakdowns. It highlights your top 5 countries, which are the focus of the rest of the analysis.
Competitor pricing
The competitor pricing table compares the paywall’s subscription prices to those of your competitors in the selected country. It includes separate columns for each subscription duration.
Conversion funnel
The chart shows your conversion rates — Views-to-Trial, Trial-to-Paid, and Views-to-Paid — next to the averages for similar apps.
Revenue distribution by duration
This chart shows which subscription durations contribute the most to your revenue, compared to the industry average. If your revenue is heavily skewed towards one duration, it may indicate an opportunity to optimize your pricing strategy.
