Short answer
Paywall conversion rate is the share of users who see an app's paywall and then start a free trial or purchase a subscription. It reflects how well pricing, design, messaging, and timing persuade users. Subscription apps frequently A/B test paywall variants to improve this rate, since small gains compound across all installs.
