What to look for
- • No-code paywall editor — designers and PMs iterate without a release
- • A/B testing without app releases — remote-config paywalls beat hardcoded ones
- • Cohort analytics — see which paywall wins on day-30 retention, not just install
- • Segmentation and targeting — show different paywalls to different users
