    Metrics Benchmark Comparison.

    Paste your numbers. Get back where you actually stand.

    You send 8 to 10 of your own numbers. We place each one against the published benchmark for your profile and tell you where you stand, with the source and year on every row.

    The profile matters more than the vertical. A hard paywall converts roughly five times freemium at the median, so comparing a freemium app to a blended median produces a wrong answer, not a rough one. That is why the four selector questions below are required.

    One page. Cheapest way to find out whether your problem is top of funnel, monetization, or retention.

    What you get back

    • A standing summary: what your numbers say the problem actually is
    • A metric-by-metric table with the benchmark, percentile, standing, source, year, and caveat
    • Your two or three biggest gaps, each with a concrete next step
    • Honest flags where no published benchmark exists for a metric

    The fastest one we run. Usually back within a couple of business days.

    What it looks like

    SampleLumora· excerpt from a real run

    Fictional sample company. Every figure below is invented to illustrate the format.

    Lumora's problem is at the top of the funnel, not in monetization or retention. Placed against its own profile columns, it is below benchmark on three of seven comparable metrics and at or above on the other four, including both renewal-retention metrics and trial-to-paid. The two real gaps are install-to-trial and D30 habit retention.

    The sample carries its own limits on the page: no public source reports LTV:CAC by vertical, so that row is compared to a general target rather than a peer number, and D30 retention is a closest-match read because the reference carries no journaling row. Both are flagged in the output rather than smoothed over.

    Everything below is what the audit actually needs to run. Nothing extra.

    Access model

    The biggest single swing. A gated free tier with an early paywall is still freemium.

    AI-powered or not

    AI apps run about half the cross-vertical trial-start rate, so they get their own column.

    Platform

    iOS and Google Play convert differently. We never blend them.

    Paywall placement

    Onboarding placement plus a trial nearly doubles the in-app-no-trial rate, so this selects a column too.
