Overview
Replace the feature list on the paywall with a dated timeline (access today, a reminder before the end, the day billing starts) then ask to send that reminder, and send it.
People hesitate to start a free trial because they expect to forget to cancel. At Blinkist, the top complaint in app reviews was being charged on the last day of a 7-day trial, and users said they felt tricked (Jaycee Day, Blinkist's designer).
Fits when
- Subscription apps whose trial converts to paid automatically, where users hesitate to start for fear of forgetting to cancel
- Apps that can deliver a reminder before the trial ends, by scheduled local notification or automated email
- Apps that have not yet used their one iOS notification prompt before the paywall

Good to knowFit and evidence notes
- Fit to consider
- The reminder is a promise made on the paywall. If it is not scheduled or not seen (under quiet provisional delivery, say) the stated terms are broken.
- About the evidence
- Foodnoms and Built With Science changed other things at the same time, so the effect of the timeline alone is not isolated.
Copy includes 3 more limitations, 2 failure modes, the full evidence, and adaptation guidance.
