Camp Notes's First Paywall Experiment

Starting my first paywalll experiment for Camp Notes.

Today, I started my first paywall experiment for Camp Notes. I don’t really have enough users to make it worth it, but I want to try it out anyway. I am comparing a fixed footer always showing the package buttons with a toggle for a free trial to one long scroll with the free trial option as a button like the non trial options.

What I’m hoping to learn is if users are more likely to convert if they have to scroll or not. I’m also curious if people will switch to the free trial version at all.

Ideally this experiment is ran until at least 35 users have gone through it, but I think that’ll take a really long time considering I’ve only had 4 users start a trial since I launched on September 6th. If I haven’t hit 35 users by December 15th (2 months from now), then I’ll stop the experiment and choose the option that had slightly better results even if it’s not statistically significant.

The prices in this screen are the placeholders that RevenueCat generates in their app so I can preview the paywalls.

This experiment is part of my goal to hit $1000 MRR by October 2026. You can follow that journey on YouTube, Instagram, or right here on my blog.

I Argued Myself Into Sending an Email Nobody Wanted
I wrote a fix to stop Tobi's daily digest from sending on days with zero tasks, then canceled it with a confident argument about why users needed those emails. Three days later a TestFlight tester told me the zero-task email made no sense, and the original fix shipped the same day.

Why Weekly Active Users Is the Number I Watch in Tobi
Tobi went to public beta this week. Before it did, I picked one number to watch: weekly active users.

Idea to TestFlight in Three Weeks
Three weeks ago Tobi was an idea in my head. Yesterday it hit feature complete on TestFlight. Here's the AI workflow that got it there.
