A paywall headed “A Movement of Faith and Hope 100,000 Strong” lists “Bring Comfort to Others” (“While helping us offer free support to those facing loneliness, grief, or uncertainty”), “Better sleep is yours to share” and “Expand Our Reach”, above Annual ($39.99 a year) and Monthly ($9.99 a month) plans with 7 days free.
Design takeaway
Saying what a subscription pays for is a fair ask. Say also what stays free for everyone, and keep the mission language from pressing people who cannot pay.

First use
From opening on a passage, a prayer or a question box with nothing asked, through a first page of places to start, guest use and a short tour, to questions first and payment before the first use: decide what a new person must give, and when, before they reach what they came for.

From leaving giving to the church, through a quiet way to give, the church’s offering in the app, a regular gift and showing what a gift does, to a gift tied to an ad-free app and, as the warning case, pressure and promises: decide where the ask appears, what is chosen for the giver, and what the app says a gift will do.
