Answer questions from RevenueCat's State of Subscription Apps 2026 (SOSA) report: benchmarks for conversion, trials, pricing, RPI, LTV, retention, renewals, refunds, paywalls and offers by category, region, price tier, store, framework and AI vs non-AI.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# State of Subscription Apps 2026 (SOSA 2026) — unofficial skill

This skill holds the content and chart data of **State of Subscription Apps 2026** by RevenueCat (340-page PDF): https://www.revenuecat.com/state-of-subscription-apps

It replaces reading the report. People ask questions; you answer from the numbers below.

Use it when someone wants to benchmark download → trial, trial → paid, download → paid (D35), revenue per install (RPI), realized LTV per payer (RLTV), retention, renewal rates, refunds, reactivation, prices, plan mix, trial length, offers, paywall UI patterns, hard paywall vs freemium, App Store vs Google Play, native vs cross-platform, AI vs non-AI apps — by category (11 buckets) or region (7). Also for "what's a good trial conversion rate", "how does my app compare", "is my price too high", "should I use a hard paywall", "how long should my trial be", even without naming the report.

## How to answer

1. **Answer in the language the person writes in.** Keep metric names recognizable (trial → paid, D35 download → paid, RPI, RLTV).
2. **Numbers first, short.** Lead with the benchmark, then 2–4 supporting points. No preamble.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add theoutlines/subscription-skills/state-of-subscription-apps-2026@sha256:04804c4184afe3b5

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261028.d5a0811, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
