Really solid FinTech mobile design. Clean, trustworthy, and the user flow sounds well thought out. Great outcome on the final UI!
Trials die on day 7.
That's when the first charge lands.
If users didn't see it coming, they ask for a refund or worse, leave a 1 star review.
I made a trial paywall for an AI bookkeeping tool.
It's a concept, so nobody got charged.
My first draft led with $16 a month because it looked better than the real charge, $192. On a second look, $16 was the wrong number to lead with.
So the yearly card now shows $192 in big type, with the $16 underneath, small.
Above the cta, a timeline shows what happens during the trial
Before they tap free trial, can a user see what they'll pay?
And the day they'll be charged?
If the answer is no, that's your first fix.
A charge you saw coming is easier to forgive.

Unlock Pro: Paywall Micro-Interaction Template, Built with the SVGator MCP
A 6-second looping 4:5 paywall template for subscription apps: three benefits check in, a tap on Annual switches the plan and pops a "Save 40%" badge, then "Start free trial" opens the padlock and the blurred product image comes into focus as the headline and button turn to a success state. Swap the logo, product image, headline, benefits, plans, prices, badge, button labels and colors; the blur stays when you swap the image. Every piece is a named layer with live text. Every layer, name and keyframe was created through the SVGator MCP. Nothing was finished by hand in the editor.
Prices, discounts and app names are placeholders. Pagewren and Chordwell are fictional brands made up for this demo. Use only figures that are true for your app.
