Superwall vs. Onboardsy: Which is Right for Your App?

Paywalls vs. Full Onboarding

Superwall is the undisputed king of paywall A/B testing. If your only goal is to optimize the checkout screen, they are a great option. However, mobile app onboarding is about much more than just the payment.

The User Journey Gap

Superwall focuses on the "Paywall" moment. Onboardsy focuses on the "Aha!" moment. A paywall is just one step in the user journey. Before a user pays, they need to be educated, engaged, and convinced of your value. This requires a multi-step flow: welcome screens, feature education, permission priming, and personalization.

While you can build some of these screens in Superwall, their editor is optimized for conversion pages, not complex educational flows. Onboardsy allows you to build rich, interactive tutorials that seamlessly lead into a paywall.

Pricing Model

Superwall's pricing can get expensive as you scale, often taking a cut of your revenue. Onboardsy offers a simple, flat-rate pricing model for startups. We believe you shouldn't be punished for growing. Check out our pricing page to compare.

Why Not Both?

Actually, you don't always have to choose. Many of our largest customers use Onboardsy for the education flow and even integrate Superwall for the final checkout screen (though Onboardsy handles payments natively too!). But if you want a single tool to manage the entire end-to-end onboarding flow, Onboardsy is the more comprehensive solution.
