Brainly

Five ideas to unlock more revenue from the traffic you already have, built as two personalized flows: one by onboarding answers, one by the Apple Ads keyword that brought the install.

Prepared by Adapty · based on your live iOS flow, your App Store listing, brainly.com and your Apple Ads
1Flow 1 · By onboarding answers

Personalized by what they tell you

Four taps before the price. Every screen after it says the answers back: the loader, the four-week plan, the paywall headline and plan, the offer and the home screen.

Parent · Chemistry · High School · “a grade that’s slipped”→“Bring your teen’s Chemistry grade back up”, on your Brainly Tutor paywall
2Flow 2 · By Apple Ads keyword

Personalized by what they searched

The keyword arrives with the install, before they answer anything. The paywall opens on that search, with the proof that fits it. Built from the searches your own ads ran on over the past year.

Built in Adapty Flow Builder

Millions of dollars in subscription revenue pass through Flow Builder every month.

Nearly 500 apps actively build their paywalls and onboarding in it — plenty of them past $100K MRR.

What this is

We went through Brainly as someone who just installed it, then rebuilt the parts we think leave money on the table.

We power more than 30,000 subscription apps, so we see what moves conversion across the market. We installed Brainly, walked from the first screen through sign-up to the plan picker behind “Maybe later”, read your App Store listing and brainly.com, and looked at the searches your Apple Ads show up on. Then we looked for gaps between what you already have and what a new user gets to see.

So we built two flows on your own screens. Flow 1 personalizes everything after four onboarding answers, including whether a student or a parent is holding the phone: your listing and your website now speak to parents first, the app still speaks to students only. Flow 2 personalizes the paywall by the Apple Ads keyword that brought the install, before they answer anything. They stack: the keyword decides what the paywall leads with, the answers sharpen everything after it.

We did not redesign your app

Every screen uses your wordmark, your lime button, your condensed paywall headline, your purple subject chips, your gold plan card and your mascot. Only the order and the words around them change.

You may have tested some of this

We cannot see your experiment history. If you have already run one of these, tell us what you found and we will go deeper on the rest.

The five ideas

Ranked by what we would test first.

Each one opens the screen that shows it.

Flow 2 · Your Apple Ads

Your ads found homework and tutor searches. Your paywall never knew.

From October 2025 to August 2026 your US ads ran on “homework”, “problems”, “tutor”, “homework help”, “photo math helper” and on competitor names like “gauthofficial”, “justanswer” and “vimi: my math tutor”. Every one of those installs landed on the same “87% of students” paywall. Since September your ads show only on your own name. Here is how one setup could speak to each search, and send each to the right flow and the right paywall.

01

They search and tap your ad

“homework help”, “photo math helper”, “gauthofficial”, or “tutor”.

02

Adapty reads the Apple Ads attribution

Campaign, ad group and keyword arrive with the install, so the user starts in the right flow.

03

The first screen leads with their search

A “tutor” search opens with “I’m a parent” already ticked. Your layout, your splash.

04

The paywall opens on that search

Five versions of your Brainly+ paywall, one per search group, each with the proof that fits it.

05

Revenue per keyword

Adapty’s Apple Ads Manager shows what each keyword earns after install, not only what it costs.

Search groupYour own searchesWhat the keyword paywall leads with

STUDENT FLOW

Turn the homework searches back on

You held 38% of “homework” and 43% of “problems” until August; today Gauth holds 97% of “homework”. The keyword paywall gives those installs a reason to stay past the price.

PARENT FLOW

Own “tutor”

You reached 23% of “tutor” over the summer; today Wyzant takes 97%. Your app is called “Brainly: Your Personal Tutor”, and “math tutor” has nobody bidding on it.

BOTH

Close the gap on “brainy”

It is your biggest brand search and Solvely takes 12% of it. The new first screen works for brand installs too.

Apple Ads, US storefront. Past-year shares cover 21 October 2025 – 21 October 2026 (no category ads ran after August); “now” covers 21 September – 21 October 2026. Popularity and share of voice from public observation of ads, not from your account. A dash means we have no popularity figure for that search.

Potential outcome

Two personalized flows, Flow 1 by onboarding answers and Flow 2 by Apple Ads keyword, plus two fixes around them: the account moves after the purchase, and “maybe later” gets one clear offer.
