For utility apps
Monetize the annual plan, the trial, and the lifetime unlock.
VPNs, scanners, cleaners, and password managers all sell Pro the same way — a monthly price to anchor against, an annual plan that does the real revenue, a free trial to convert, and a one-time unlock for buyers who won't subscribe. CashSDK ships every shape from one integration, with paywalls you A/B over the air and revenue you can read the same afternoon you launch.

How the category prices
Three ways to sell Pro, running at the same time.
The top utility apps anchor on a monthly price, close on a deeply discounted annual plan, and rescue non-subscribers with a one-time unlock — with a free trial doing the conversion. Here is how the category really charges.
Recurring
Annual-vs-monthly Pro
The revenue base: a monthly price to anchor against, and a deeply discounted annual or multi-year plan that most buyers actually pick.
- NordVPN ~$12.99/mo monthly vs ~$3.49/mo on 2-year (~60%+ off)
- ExpressVPN ~$12.99/mo vs ~$2.49/mo on 2-year (~80% off)
- 1Password ~$3.99/mo vs $2.99/mo billed yearly ($35.88/yr)
- Dashlane retired its free plan (Sept 2025); annual-only $59.88/yr

Trial-forward
Free trial → subscription
A short free trial does the conversion, then auto-renews onto the annual plan — the default for scanners, cleaners, and PDF tools.
- CamScanner ~$4.99/mo · $49.99/yr (also a $4.99/week plan)
- PDF Expert ~$79.99/yr with a 7-day free trial
- Adobe Scan ~$9.99/mo Premium, 7-day trial
- Cleaner Guru ~$6.99/week trialing into $39.99/yr

One-time
Lifetime unlock
A single payment sold beside the subscriptions — one feature set, no renewal — the escape hatch for buyers who won’t rent software.
- 1Blocker: $2.99/mo · $14.99/yr · $39.99 lifetime (same features)
- PDF Expert lifetime ~$139.99 alongside the annual plan
- SwiftScan markets a lifetime “VIP” unlock (~$199.99 list)
- Legacy Genius Scan+ was a ~$7.99 one-time before going subscription

Paywall shapes
Every utility paywall, rendered from our own components.
Annual-vs-monthly Pro, a free-trial upgrade, and a one-time lifetime unlock — the same primitives, themed for utilities. These are CashSDK’s unbranded chrome, never a copy of any app’s screen.
