@frederickjames Try doing web to app campaigns, it’s way better and you avoid all these App Store fees, my experience so far

I’ve been running mostly normal app promo campaigns and switched to web2app campaigns, while roas isn’t initially positive, churn so far is DRAMATICALLY better, a simple 4.99 purchase is showing an avg customer value since June 15 of 55 dollars!! $3400 MRR in 2 weeks #apps #saas

@indiesoftwaredv @Funnelfoxhq @thejsnode It works but very difficult to crack, no need to use funnel fox, they are very expensive, just build it yourself

6. Up front ads are operating at a loss if you take it at face value but considering low churn, high ltv, this may be way more profitable long term, 2 weeks of data isn’t enough to make conclusive decisions but results for far are promising.

4. Less fees in App Store == better customer experience in app, more ai generations , more happy customers
5. I offer a very generous 14 day refund policy no questions asked

[Shivam Bhalla @Shivambh28]

Not to mention:

1. Paying 2.8% in stripe fees vs 15% for small business on App Store plus 5% refunds
2. Way better retention, previous in app, 70% of users would leave within first week, now barely any users are leaving so far
3. Much more accurate attribution, less signal loss

I was just trying to log into @RevenueCat when i saw my app PixMorph logo was featured on their login page! Very cool to see !

@indiesoftwaredv @Funnelfoxhq @thejsnode You can try my flow which ain’t converting well on purchase screen https://t.co/q5Z6NIqsjy, ab testing the shit out of it. Meanwhile my app converted at 10%, in 3 months made 22k mrr and over 55k in revenue

@indiesoftwaredv @kyanbuilds This is sick. What are you using for captions/voice over? How did you build the app demo side of things?

[Shivam Bhalla @Shivambh28]

@Funnelfoxhq @indiesoftwaredv @thejsnode I’m curious to try funnelfox but im skeptical of whether it will convert better than normal app promo campaigns, I’ve heard mixed reviews. I’m trying a web2app funnel right now that I’ve built myself but it’s not getting sales compared to normal app promo campaigns.

@ErnestoSOFTWARE @athcanft I’m trying web to app right now and isn’t working well for me. Can you clarify what you mean by optimization problem ?

[Shivam Bhalla @Shivambh28]

@Cedric_Roberge Yes plz!

[Shivam Bhalla @Shivambh28]

@xburak Send plz

[Shivam Bhalla @Shivambh28]

@marclou I think I mentioned this when we met in person, but I’ve had good luck using Claude code design for flows, finalize the design in Claude code design for the full flow (including manual tweaks) then copy that code into my app for styling.

[Shivam Bhalla @Shivambh28]

@zach_yadegari I'd be interested. Currently a swe at big tech + started an app this year, hit 20k+ MRR in 3 months, and scaling.

@AIAdsApps App

@lucaspatiri_ UGC

[Shivam Bhalla @Shivambh28]

@AIAdsApps Sounds good in theory but web conversion rate is much lower than app.
