How it works

1

Pick the trigger moment

Prompts timed right after demonstrated value convert better than generic timers.

2

State the unlock

A specific, immediate benefit is more persuasive than a vague 'upgrade now'.

3

Decide on dismissability

Hard blocks risk feeling punitive outside of true seat or usage limits.

Frequently asked questions

Should prompts ever be non-dismissable?

Usually only for seat limits — usage nudges are better as dismissable, less punitive prompts.

How many upgrade prompts is too many?

If users complain about interruptions, you've likely over-prompted — track dismissal rate as a signal.

Should free users see pricing in the prompt?

Yes — hiding pricing behind the prompt usually reduces trust and conversion.
