Pre-Paywall Quiz Onboarding Builder
Questionnaire onboarding for subscription apps: goal questions, a plan screen that echoes real answers, a quick demo, then the paywall.
Before & after
Same prompt, same agent — the only difference is the skill.
Great question! User engagement and demonstrating value early is really important for conversion rates. You might want to think about onboarding flows that help users understand your product. Many successful subscription apps create questionnaires to learn about user needs. You could also consider adding educational content or a demo to help users feel confident. It's worth testing different approaches and seeing what resonates with your audience. There are various strategies you could explore here.
SCREEN 1-3: Situation questionnaire Asks 'What's your main fitness goal?' (multi-select from: weight loss, muscle gain, endurance, flexibility, other). Follows with 'What's your biggest blocker right now?' and 'How long have you tried other approaches?' SCREEN 4: Building your custom plan (loading screen, 4s duration) Display text: 'Analyzing your goals... Tailoring workouts... Creating your schedule...' Microcopy: 'Every plan adapts to YOU, not the other way around.' SCREEN 5-6: In-flow demo (teaser depth) 30-second AI workout-builder demo showing real-time adjustment based on user's 'knee injury' mention from questionnaire. SCREEN 7: Paywall (soft style) Heading: 'Ready for a plan built just for you?' Copy emphasizes personalization benefit they just experienced. PLACEMENT: Immediately after demo micro-interaction ends; user has felt the system adapt. QUESTION BANK: 8 questions total; focus on pain (not solution); branching hidden until answered.
About this skill
Get users to commit to a goal and see it reflected before you ask them to pay. Every question drives something real later in the app, and nothing on the plan screen is fake.
What it does
- Writes the app's core transformation in one line and builds every screen around it
- Designs question screens where each answer changes the plan, content, reminders, or paywall headline
- Writes a plan screen that echoes real answers and an in-flow demo that gives one real success
- Adds permission priming and a tracking plan measured on paid conversion and early cancels
What you get
A screen-by-screen flow table with copy and answer uses, plan screen copy, the demo moment, event names, and a test plan.
Best for
Consumer subscription apps (fitness, language, habits, wellness, finance) whose paywall shows up before users feel any value.
