# Paywall & Upgrade CRO Skill

Trigger

Design upgrade triggers and paywall experiences that convert free to paid.

**Trigger phrases:** "paywall design", "upgrade flow", "free to paid", "pricing page optimisation", "trial to paid", "feature gating"

Process

1. **Identify**: Which features drive upgrade intent?

2. **Design gates**: Hard gate vs soft gate vs usage limit

3. **Craft messaging**: What the user gains, not what they lose

4. **Timing**: When to show upgrade prompts

5. **Pricing page**: Optimise for conversion

Gate Types

Usage Limits (most effective for tools)

  • "You've used 8 of 10 free reports this month"
  • Shows value before asking for payment
  • Natural upgrade trigger
  • Feature Gates (best for clear tier differentiation)

  • Core features free, advanced features paid
  • Show locked features with preview
  • "Unlock this with Pro"
  • Time-Limited Trial (best for full-featured products)

  • 14 days free, then paywall
  • Show countdown: "6 days left in your trial"
  • Don't remove access abruptly — grace period
  • Pricing Page Principles

  • 3 tiers maximum (good-better-best)
  • Highlight recommended tier visually
  • Annual pricing shown first (higher LTV)
  • Feature comparison table with check marks
  • FAQ addressing common objections
  • Social proof near CTA
  • Money-back guarantee reduces risk
  • Output

    Upgrade flow specification: gate design, trigger points, messaging copy, pricing page structure, and A/B test recommendations.
