Thanks for the heads up - it's definitely our intention to demonstrate the potential value before asking for payment. We try to make the app as accessible as possible at $5 for the first month. We're offering a personalized onboarding call with a coach to everyone who onboards which is why we paywall upfront.

Thanks for the answer! It does make sense. With a few caveats, however. From my experience, this is a way to go if you:

- Identified your market fit as users who appreciate and accept calls (not the case for many. GenZ, for example, does not fit)

- These calls are the main motto for the app (but in this case, I do not understand why you hide all the other features from potential users like me. I do not need personal calls, but I could change my mind after a few trial weeks with proper motivation)

Anyway, do not get me wrong. These are just my two cents. Otherwise, good luck with the project!

Maybe state the cost earlier in the flow. Feels crappy to spend time giving you data about me and then get hit with the paywall, and no option to see what Demigod is even about.
