Superwall
A paywall optimization platform that enables mobile apps to create, deploy, and A/B test paywalls without app store updates. Superwall provides remote paywall configuration, experiment management, and conversion analytics — making the paywall screen as iteratable as a web page.

What Is Superwall?
Superwall is a mobile SDK that lets app developers build and test paywalls remotely. Instead of hardcoding paywall screens into the app and waiting for store approval to test changes, Superwall lets teams design paywalls in a visual editor, push changes in real-time, and run A/B experiments without any app update.
Why It Matters in Web2App Funnels
The paywall is the highest-leverage screen in any subscription app — it’s where users decide to pay or leave. Yet traditionally, testing paywall changes requires a code change, QA cycle, and 1-3 day App Store review. This means most apps only test their paywall a few times per quarter.
Superwall removes this bottleneck. Teams can test a new paywall variant every day if they want. Price anchoring, trial duration, CTA copy, layout, social proof placement, urgency elements — all of these can be tested at the speed of a web A/B test.
For web2app operators, this is particularly valuable because the web funnel upstream of the paywall changes frequently (new quiz questions, new ad creatives, new audience segments). Each upstream change affects who reaches the paywall, which means the optimal paywall configuration is constantly shifting.
Key Features
Visual paywall builder: Design paywalls with drag-and-drop components. No engineering required for visual changes.
A/B testing: Built-in experimentation framework with statistical significance calculation. Test layouts, pricing, copy, and offers simultaneously.
Trigger rules: Show different paywalls based on user attributes, behavior, or funnel source. Users from a health quiz see a health-themed paywall; users from an astrology quiz see a mystical-themed paywall.
Analytics: Conversion rates, revenue per impression, trial start rates — all segmented by variant, audience, and trigger.
Competitive Landscape
Superwall competes primarily with Adapty (which also offers remote paywall management) and RevenueCat’s Paywalls feature. Superwall tends to be preferred by teams focused heavily on paywall optimization speed, while Adapty appeals to teams wanting tighter integration with subscription analytics.
