When the user wants to create or optimize in-app paywalls, upgrade screens, upsell modals, or feature gates. Also use when the user mentions "paywall," "upgrade screen," "upgrade modal," "upsell," "feature gate," "convert free to paid," "freemium conversion," "trial expiration screen," "limit reached screen," "plan upgrade prompt," "in-app pricing," "free users won't upgrade," "trial to paid conversion," or "how do I get users to pay." Use this for any in-product moment where you're asking users to upgrade. Distinct from public pricing pages (see page-cro) — this focuses on in-product upgrade moments where the user has already experienced value. For pricing decisions, see pricing-strategy.

The first copy is the substantive procedure, while the third is a thin wrapper that defers to a separate detailed guide and adds generic safety/limitation constraints. The second copy overlaps heavily with the first but includes material steps and constraints the first lacks, such as context-triggered paywalls, mobile paywall patterns, and additional paywall types. Crowning the first copy would hide these real alternatives, so the copies should be combined.
