## Find the change worth testing.

A good-looking paywall is a starting point. A growth decision needs the journey, the changes teams have made, and a reason the idea fits your product.

Lazyweb is built for product growth optimization: captured experiments, connected app trees, screen clustering and recommendations grounded in your app’s goals and constraints.

Inspect the ten captured pairs below.

### Built by product growth leaders

**Ali Abouelatta.** Worked on retention and monetization at Duolingo. He tracked purchase flows across roughly 220 consumer apps, returned every six months to study changes, and used those patterns to sharpen the roadmap. That research habit became Lazyweb. [Ali’s research habit](https://www.first1000.co/about).

**Francesco Polizzi.** Led growth at Discord and was Head of Product at Photomath, following growth work at Dropbox and Mozilla. The team built Lazyweb around the work of finding, prioritizing and testing product growth opportunities. [Founder backgrounds](https://speedrun.a16z.com/companies/lazyweb) · [Photomath interview](https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/francesco-polizzi:-a-successful-equation-to-tutor-students-in-math-2021-03-03).

## Quick verdict

- **Lazyweb** — Use Lazyweb when deciding which onboarding, trial or monetization change to test in your product. [1](https://design.lazyweb.com/)
- **Mobbin** — Use Mobbin for broad manual iOS and web app-flow research, with a paid plan for flows, search or MCP. [14](https://mobbin.com/pricing) [15](https://mobbin.com/)
- **Refero** — Use Refero for web and iOS references, styles and Research mode, with a paid plan for MCP access. [26](https://doc.refero.design/mcp/getting-started) [50](https://refero.design/pricing)

## Find your next paywall test

### 10 paywall experiments. See both screens.

Publisher-selected captured changes, not confirmed randomized A/B tests or measured winners. Prices are historical.

#### Pixelcut: Monthly anchor, annual commitment

Pattern: Price framing. The yearly plan switches from $59.99/year to $4.99/month. The annual billing disclosure remains.

[Control capture — 2023-04-24](https://zlfyzdmohcskkucuunmk.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/screenshots/graphics6_pixelcut/lazyscreenshots/2023_04_23_21-06-31_A9EAA39F.png) · [Experiment capture — 2023-04-27](https://zlfyzdmohcskkucuunmk.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/screenshots/graphics6_pixelcut/lazyscreenshots/2023_04_27_19-13-39_4EBA8FC9.png)

Test idea: Test the display unit; monitor annual purchase conversion and billing-related refunds.

#### PictureThis: A longer trial with urgency

Pattern: Trial offer. Seven days becomes 14 days, with “TODAY ONLY” copy. The annual price stays $29.99.

[Control capture — 2023-05-04](https://zlfyzdmohcskkucuunmk.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/screenshots/edu10_picturethis/compare/!tab1_home/!tab1_home_states/2023-05-04-21-34-33-.png) · [Experiment capture — 2023-05-14](https://zlfyzdmohcskkucuunmk.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/screenshots/edu10_picturethis/compare/!tab1_home/!tab1_home_states/2023-05-14-12-24-04-.png)

Test idea: Separate trial length from urgency in your test; measure paid conversion after the trial.

#### The New Yorker: Different trials for different plans

Pattern: Trial offer. The monthly trial shrinks to one week while the annual plan offers four weeks.

[Control capture — 2024-08-04](https://zlfyzdmohcskkucuunmk.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/screenshots/mag8_the-new-yorker/compare/2024-08-04-00-18-40-.png) · [Experiment capture — 2024-09-03](https://zlfyzdmohcskkucuunmk.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/screenshots/mag8_the-new-yorker/lazyscreenshots/2024_09_03_11-39-09_3E77236B.png)

Test idea: Test plan-specific trials; measure plan mix, trial-to-paid conversion and cancellation.

#### Any Distance: A higher price, the same pitch

Pattern: Pricing. The annual price changes from $30 to $50; the trial CTA and comparison remain.

[Control capture — 2024-05-13](https://zlfyzdmohcskkucuunmk.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/screenshots/health120_any-distance/lazyscreenshots/2024_05_12_22-52-15_FFDC492B.png) · [Experiment capture — 2024-06-23](https://zlfyzdmohcskkucuunmk.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/screenshots/health120_any-distance/lazyscreenshots/2024_06_23_17-56-46_09F066A2.png)

Test idea: Test willingness to pay; measure net revenue alongside purchase conversion.

#### Photomath: A new plan selector and price

Pattern: Plan structure. Horizontal cards become vertical rows. The selected annual price falls from $69.99 to $39.99.

[Control capture — 2023-05-07](https://zlfyzdmohcskkucuunmk.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/screenshots/edu2_photomath/lazyscreenshots/2023_05_07_14-17-28_07A4A139.png) · [Experiment capture — 2023-09-15](https://zlfyzdmohcskkucuunmk.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/screenshots/edu2_photomath/lazyscreenshots/2023_09_15_09-05-19_F353ACDA.png)

Test idea: Treat this as a bundle of changes; isolate plan layout before attributing an effect to it.

#### Hallow: A cheaper fallback and scholarship

Pattern: Fallback offer. The one-month option drops from $3.99 to $0.99; a scholarship link and testimonial appear.

[Control capture — 2026-01-28](https://zlfyzdmohcskkucuunmk.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/screenshots/uploaded_hallow/compare/2026-01-28/1771006599131_t__-_857.PNG) · [Experiment capture — 2026-05-27](https://zlfyzdmohcskkucuunmk.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/screenshots/uploaded_hallow/paywall/compare/2026-05-27/1779904866366_00_paywall.png)

Test idea: Test an accessible fallback; monitor paid retention and movement away from the annual plan.

#### Gentler Streak: A longer trial at a higher price

Pattern: Trial offer. Seven days becomes one month; the yearly price changes from $49.99 to $54.99.

[Control capture — 2023-07-24](https://zlfyzdmohcskkucuunmk.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/screenshots/health121_gentler/lazyscreenshots/2023_07_24_11-40-14_0FB685AC.png) · [Experiment capture — 2023-12-16](https://zlfyzdmohcskkucuunmk.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/screenshots/health121_gentler/lazyscreenshots/2023_12_16_15-40-56_8A6BBEF5.png)

Test idea: Test the trial and price separately; compare revenue after trial and renewal retention.

#### Crunchyroll: Price, savings and CTA change together

Pattern: Offer and CTA. The monthly renewal changes from $11.99 to $13.99; “Start Subscription” replaces the trial CTA.

[Control capture — 2026-01-28](https://zlfyzdmohcskkucuunmk.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/screenshots/uploaded_crunchyroll/compare/2026-01-28/1771006463533_t__-_440.PNG) · [Experiment capture — 2026-02-12](https://zlfyzdmohcskkucuunmk.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/screenshots/ingest/any_app_flow_runs/crunchyroll/com.crunchyroll.iphone/20260212-002846/flow_07_Account_Tab/002_step_01.png)

Test idea: Do not credit the CTA alone. Monitor starts, paid conversion and net subscription revenue.

#### Genie: A trial toggle replaces review cards

Pattern: Trial control. An “Enable Free Trial” toggle and new benefit list replace the reviews-led paywall.

[Control capture — 2024-05-20](https://zlfyzdmohcskkucuunmk.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/screenshots/prod3_genie/lazyscreenshots/2024_05_20_07-24-47_3D4D9B97.png) · [Experiment capture — 2024-05-25](https://zlfyzdmohcskkucuunmk.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/screenshots/prod3_genie/compare/figma/May%2025%2C%202024%20at%2010%3A00-AM.png)

Test idea: Test trial choice against a fixed offer; monitor trial use, paid conversion and refunds.

#### Halide: Annual billing moves into the foreground

Pattern: Price framing. A $0.99/month headline becomes $19.99/year. “Continue” replaces the trial-and-subscribe CTA.

[Control capture — 2024-05-12](https://zlfyzdmohcskkucuunmk.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/screenshots/prod118_halide/compare/2024-05-12-17-00-06-.png) · [Experiment capture — 2024-09-03](https://zlfyzdmohcskkucuunmk.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/screenshots/prod118_halide/lazyscreenshots/2024_09_03_12-07-37_8921DA63.png)

Test idea: Make the commitment clear; measure paid conversion and billing-related support contacts.

### The reference is only the beginning.

- **Lazyweb · Cal AI.** The plan selector connects to the trial invitation, conditional reminder and App Store confirmation. Study the decision within the journey. [Open example](https://design.lazyweb.com/research/cal-ai-paywall-annual-plan-and-trial) [Captured screen](https://zlfyzdmohcskkucuunmk.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/screenshots/uploaded_cal_ai/onboarding/compare/2026-08-03/1785801817143_43_com.viraldevelopment.CalAI-20260803T040536Z-cap-plan-picker-1785733600.png)

Examples inspected October 4, 2026. Capture prices are historical examples, not current offers. Both competitors also offer flows and agent research.

### Follow Cal AI’s onboarding into the paywall

In this August 2026 Cal AI capture, account choices come before the trial invitation, followed by a reminder promise conditional on notifications. [Read the sourced answer](https://design.lazyweb.com/research/cal-ai-sign-in-trial-reminder-sequence).

[Open the ordered capture](https://design.lazyweb.com/flow/cal-ai/onboarding-paywall) · [Inspect the full app tree](https://design.lazyweb.com/company/cal-ai/app-tree)

Growth hypothesis: trial reassurance and annual-plan emphasis are separate levers. The reminder has a notification dependency; the selected annual plan has a billing commitment. Choose a lever that matches your bottleneck, then measure trial starts, paid conversion and retention separately.

Inspect the full app tree for the later plan selector and App Store sheet. The capture does not establish a completed subscription or delivered reminder.

Connect Lazyweb, then paste this task and provide your paywall screen or URL.

Help me find high-leverage onboarding and paywall changes worth testing in my product. Ask for my goal, audience, current flow, design constraints and available metrics. Use /lazyweb-search-flows and /lazyweb-search-experiments to study relevant products, connected journeys and captured changes over time. Study the ten captured pairs at https://www.lazyweb.com/compare/lazyweb-vs-mobbin-vs-refero#paywall-experiments. Start with https://www.lazyweb.com/research/cal-ai-paywall-annual-plan-and-trial and https://www.lazyweb.com/research/which-apps-add-pricing-transparency-experiments. Identify the mechanism, cite the reference and capture date, and explain why it fits my app. Use /lazyweb-growth-report on the screen or URL I provide to prioritize test ideas. Name a success metric and guardrails; separate observed changes, inferred learnings and measured results. State access restrictions and missing evidence; do not promise lift.
