Pre-roll + ShortsHow these tools fit together
Subscription economics are slow to show up. Trial delays, renewal timing and store fees all change when cash comes back, so a cost per install that looks expensive in week one can pay back later, or never. Start by modelling that timing with your own numbers.
Once you know what you can afford to pay, the planning calculators turn that into a creative testing load and a weekly budget. The hook, brief and preview tools then help you make and check the ads themselves.
Frequently asked questions
Which tool should a subscription app start with?
Start with the Subscription App Revenue Calculator. It shows what a cohort returns under your plan mix, trial offers and renewal assumptions, which tells you what you can afford to pay for an install.
Do these tools use industry benchmarks?
No. The calculators use the assumptions you enter, so results reflect your own numbers. Use data from comparable cohorts where you have it.
Can I compare two scenarios?
Yes. The calculators let you save one scenario, change an input and compare the results. They also export a CSV.
Are these tools free?
Yes. They are free with no signup. The two AI-powered tools have hourly and daily limits so they can stay free.
