Short answer
Lazyweb Research detected 21 distinct experiments at PlantIn (July 2026), and all 21 touch the paywall. source[1] In the CTA dataset PlantIn runs 21 paywall CTA experiments, 9 of which changed the CTA text — one of the larger single-company CTA test sets in the corpus. source[2] These are observed before/after variations with inferred rationale, not company-confirmed A/B tests.
All 21 detected PlantIn experiments are on the paywall; 9 rewrote the CTA text (July 2026).
The finding
Lazyweb Research detected 21 distinct experiments at PlantIn, all 21 on the paywall. source[1] In the CTA dataset it runs 21 paywall CTA experiments, 9 of which changed the CTA text. source[2] PlantIn is a pure-paywall experimenter with one of the larger CTA test sets among the 30 companies with 8+ CTA experiments, iterating the button copy on roughly 43% of them.
How it compares
PlantIn's 21-experiment CTA set sits just behind Snapchat (37) and Mimo (23) in raw CTA volume, and plant-identification apps run consistently deep paywall programs.
How to apply it
PlantIn is a benchmark for a plant-care utility running a high-volume, offer-weighted paywall program (9 of 21 change the CTA copy). If your utility app monetizes plant ID or care reminders, PlantIn shows the category sustains 20+ paywall variations — evidence to justify a continuous test program rather than a one-time paywall build. source[2]
Caveats
All figures are observed variations with LLM-inferred rationale, not company-confirmed A/B tests — no lift is measured. source[1] CTA claims use the 795-experiment CTA dataset. source[2]
The numbers
| # | Stat | Computed from |
|---|---|---|
| [1] | 21 distinct experiments; all 21 on the paywall | company_total:plantin (value 21; paywall 21) |
| [2] | 21 paywall CTA experiments, 9 changed CTA text | paywall_cta_by_company plantin 21/9 |
| [3] | Mimo 23 CTA experiments, 10 changed CTA text | paywall_cta_by_company mimo 23/10 |
Methodology
Universe: 21 distinct PlantIn experiments (21 CTA experiments) within 4,814 detected diffs / 795 CTA diffs, July 2026. Extraction: LLM-inferred rationale on observed variations. Caveat: detected variations only, never confirmed A/B tests.
