Revenue Model Overview

App Pricing & Revenue Streams:

• Free download with ad revenue for non-subscribers.
• Three paid tiers: Starter, Professional, and Premium.
• In-app exclusive content available for subscribers.

Key Metrics:

• Most users stay on the free tier and don’t convert to paid.
• High churn rate compared to industry benchmarks.
• Low ad revenue generated by free users.‍
• Low upsells for in-app purchases.

‍

‍

The main challenge is to acquire new customers without dipping into profits. What levers can the app pull to grow faster and more profitably?

‍

Acquisition

To boost new customer sign-ups, the app can:

‍

Show Interactive In-App Messages:
Use personalized messages to encourage users to upgrade from free to a paid plan.

• For example, offer a reverse trial or highlight key benefits of the paid plan.
• Run personalization campaigns and A/B tests to track improvements.

‍

‍

Retention

Retention is critical because many users drop off before experiencing the full value of the app. The main tactics to tackle this are as follows:

‍

Identify High-Risk Users: Spot users likely to churn and engage them with reactivation campaigns.

Improve Customer Experience: Enhance core features so that users see real benefits.

• Use personalized in-app messages triggered by user behavior (e.g., inactivity or low usage).

‍

‍

Monetization

The goal is to make both free and paid users more profitable. The app needs to increase stickiness (DAU/MAU) so it can monetize the free app users (Ad Revenue per Free User ) and in-app purchases more effectively.

• Increase Stickiness (DAU/MAU):
  Encourage regular use so that free users generate more ad revenue and paid users make more in-app purchases.
• Targeted Email Journeys:
  Track user affinity with rule-based or AI models, then enroll them in campaigns that promote in-app purchases.‍
• Track Product Engagement:
  Monitor feature adoption to uncover new ways to improve monetization.
