Overview
4 questions. A personalized plan. A paying subscriber — before the app is ever opened.
Bloomly is a mental wellness platform built at the intersection of licensed psychology and AI personalization. The product is a mobile web quiz funnel: users complete a 2-minute emotional assessment, receive a personalized wellness plan, and subscribe — all before touching the native app.
The model is web-first by design. Users discover Bloomly via paid social, pay on the landing page, then activate their plan inside the iOS/Android app. This creates a higher-intent subscriber base and a fully owned acquisition channel.
Scope of Work
Background
The mental health apps market reached $9.45 billion in 2026, growing at 14.76% CAGR toward $18.8 billion by 2031. The iOS segment accounts for 52.34% of revenue - driven by stronger willingness to pay for premium mental health subscriptions among iPhone users. Straits Research MarketsandMarkets
The demand is real. The acquisition model is broken. Most apps follow the same pattern: App Store → download → generic onboarding → cold paywall. The user hasn't felt value. Conversion: 1–3%.
47% of users cite lack of personalization as a key reason for disengaging from wellness apps. This was the core design opportunity - a quiz that makes users feel understood before they pay. Fortune Business Insights
Challange
Three problems. One funnel to solve them.
Generic onboarding kills trust Clinical questions feel like forms. Emotional framing feels like conversation. One collects data, the other builds commitment.
Paywalls without context feel exploitative In mental health especially. The paywall only converts when the user already believes the plan belongs to them.
Web-to-app activation is an undefined design space After a web purchase, how does a user get into the app? This transition — browser to App Store to logged-in experience — is a friction-heavy moment that most quiz funnels don't design explicitly. Bloomly treats it as a dedicated UX screen with a clear 3-step next action.
Discovery
9 competitors. One pattern.
Audited the complete web quiz experience across: Liven, BetterMe, Headway, WalkFit, Reverse Health, LastaFit, Nordletics, Noom, Perfect Body — from entry to paywall.
Emotional Before/After framing before any pricing
Per-day pricing — reduces perceived cost ~40%
Pre-selected "Most Popular" with crossed-out original price
Money-back guarantee above the CTA — not in fine print
Countdown timer that creates urgency without undermining trust
Open design question: The post-purchase to app activation flow wasn't observable without completing a real transaction across all competitors. This moment — how a web subscriber becomes an active app user — was treated as a key design hypothesis in Bloomly rather than a validated pattern.
Thinking
Activation → Retention → Revenue
Activation First value moment = Results screen (screen 7). User sees their Wellness Score and personalized plan before any pricing. This is the activation event — the moment the product earns trust.
Revenue Plan structure is designed to drive upsell from 4-Week to 12-Week on renewal. Web purchase allows direct billing without platform commission.n.

Testimonial
The collaboration was strategic and data-driven. As a result, our subscription
conversion doubled. Oleksandr didn't just design screens — he audited our
competitors, challenged our assumptions about thepaywall, and restructured the
entire funnel around the moment users actually feel value. Every decision had
a reason behind it. That level of product thinking is exactly what an early-stage
wellness startup needs.
