This open dataset is published by the PaywallPro team to give the developer and product community free access to curated paywall intelligence.
Subscription apps are growing fast, but most teams still make paywall and pricing decisions based on guesswork, personal taste, or isolated A/B tests.
Open Paywall Gallery helps builders study real paywall examples before deciding what to design, build, or test.
Use it to understand:
- How top apps present subscription value
- How pricing options are structured
- How free trials are positioned
- How onboarding flows prepare users for purchase
- How monthly and annual plans are framed
- How paywall patterns differ by category
- What monetization signals can be learned from real apps
