Today marks 2 weeks, and I am officially halfway to 1,000 in revenue. The recipe is very simple to success, work an unholy amount of hours, invest all of yourself into what you believe, learn your audience and sell them hope.
It’s that simple.

@MyFitnessPal just lost +$100M in 45 days (?) assuming they paid a 4X multiple for @calai_app, and that @Apple is banning the app forever, @MyFitnessPal just did one of the worst investments in the mobile space history kudos to the Cal AI team for the great exit. maybe one of the best exits in human history

@500kMMR Proceeds generally go up by ~15% on small business program and 25%+ if the Apple take rate is at 30%

The biggest apps in the world are using App2Web
Duolingo. Tinder. Strava.
They all use ~compliant~ app2web flows.
And they print money doing it.
Here's how they do it without getting pulled from the store 🧵

Avoiding the fee is allowed, they were just doing it in a certain way that isn't allowed
English
don’t let this scare you
apple is making an example out of an app giant avoiding their 30% fee
which is completely fair

payment sheets have been ripping lately ARPU with stripe is much higher cause of less fees + higher friction cancellation if ur building an app look into using this only select clients of superwall have access

There's no way this is actually true??

Claude now requires government ID verification (via Persona) before subscription. ChatGPT doesn't. Gemini doesn't. Anthropic just handed their competitors a gift.

I'm not sure what happened exactly, but as of the last few hours, Cal AI has been taken down from the App Store.
I guess we now know that what they were doing with this paywall was not allowed?
It could also be something else entirely, but the timing is a bit coincidental.

This is obviously a paid promo for Superwall. Disappointing. Other notes: 1. App Store rules require opening an external browser to complete checkout. This UI is completely fake or gets you banned. 2. 90% of txns for trials will be through $0 balance prepaid cards and fail.
