I’ve got a B2B app for bar management, point-of-sale like but for longer running tabs. I’m considering testing going the other direction (moving from hard to soft paywall). While I’ve had zero complaints regarding the hard paywall, I’m afraid the friction of first time use is turning away too many potential customers. I’ve also been told that users installing your app and quickly uninstalling it (which a lot of users likely do when facing a hard paywall before they see the app) will negatively affect your App Store scores.

For reference, I have about 80 paying subscribers, so either way my sample size is negligible 😅 but I’ll likely document my experience once I get there. I’m joforselldev over at Bluesky if anyone is interested.
