Superwall is a paywall. Steplark is the whole funnel.
Superwall ships remote paywalls, and stops there. But a paywall only converts the users your onboarding survives. Steplark builds onboarding and paywalls as one flow, A/B tests every screen, and shows you the funnel end to end, so you can fix the leak Superwall can't even see.
Superwall works great. Until your onboarding leaks.
Pick Superwall and you've solved the paywall and only the paywall. The screens that decide whether a user ever gets there — and the analytics that would show you where they quit — aren't part of the deal.
It can't build your onboarding
Superwall ships paywalls. The onboarding flow that decides whether a user ever reaches that paywall is left for you to hand-build in native code, and re-ship through App Review every time you tweak it.
It can't see the funnel
Superwall reports paywall conversion. It can't tell you which onboarding screen leaked the user before the paywall loaded, because it was never on those screens.
It optimizes the last 10%
The paywall only converts the traffic onboarding survives. Tuning the paywall while onboarding silently bleeds users is optimizing the last step of a funnel you can't see the top of.
Steplark vs Superwall, line by line.
Both ship remote, A/B-testable paywalls with no app release. Everything above the paywall is where they part ways.
| Steplark | Superwall | |
|---|---|---|
| Onboarding flow builder | Multi-screen, built on a canvas, A/B tested | Paywalls only |
| Paywall builder | Remote, templated, A/B tested | Remote, templated, A/B tested |
| Onboarding + paywall as one funnel | One connected flow, edge to edge | Paywall fires on its own |
| Owns the first screen (app launch) | Onboarding renders the instant the app opens | Paywalls trigger later in the session |
| Funnel analytics | Per-screen drop-off, dwell, conversion, revenue | Paywall conversion metrics |
| Sticky A/B testing | Across onboarding and paywall, sticky per device | Paywall A/B |
| Remote updates, no app release | Yes | Yes |
| In-app purchases (StoreKit 2) | Handled by the SDK | Handled by the SDK |
| AI screen editor | Describe a change, the AI writes the screen | — |
| SDK footprint | One configure call, zero dependencies | Paywall SDK |
| Pricing | Flat, per monthly user. Never a cut of revenue | Usage-based |
The funnel Superwall leaves on the table.
Everything Superwall does to a paywall, Steplark does to the whole flow that leads into it.
The whole funnel, one canvas
Onboarding and paywall live in one flow you edit in a dashboard. Change any screen and it ships over the air on the next launch — no Xcode build, no review wait.
One set of analytics
Per-screen views, advances, backs, time on screen, completion, and paywall revenue, all in one funnel. The leak is a row in a table, not a guess.
A/B test every step
Test onboarding variants and paywall variants with sticky, per-device bucketing, so exposure and conversion line up instead of drifting when you reweight.
Own the first screen
Onboarding is pre-warmed and renders the instant the app opens. You control the highest-intent moment in the session, not just a paywall that fires later.
Start from a template
Clone a proven onboarding flow or paywall, swap the copy, and publish. Templates aren't placeholders, they're designs that already convert.
One SDK, one configure call
Add Steplark, call configure with your API key, and the flow shows itself on launch. Zero dependencies, no second dashboard, no duct tape.
Move off Superwall in an afternoon.
No migration epic. Add the SDK, call configure with your API key, and your onboarding presents itself on launch.
- 01Add the Steplark SDK and call configure with your API key.
- 02Build your onboarding and paywall in the dashboard, or clone a template.
- 03Publish. It ships over the air on the next launch — no App Review.
Start from a proven onboarding template, then watch the whole funnel with onboarding analytics.
Steplark vs Superwall, answered.
Is there a Superwall alternative that does onboarding too?
Yes. Steplark is a Superwall alternative that ships both onboarding flows and paywalls from one SDK. Superwall focuses on paywalls; Steplark builds, A/B tests, and measures the entire onboarding-to-paywall funnel.
What's the difference between Steplark and Superwall?
Superwall is a remote paywall tool. Steplark covers the same paywall ground and adds the onboarding flow that feeds it, with one set of funnel analytics and sticky A/B testing across both. Superwall optimizes the paywall; Steplark optimizes the funnel that fills it.
Does Superwall build onboarding flows?
Superwall is paywall-focused. Building a multi-screen onboarding flow with Superwall means writing it yourself in native code and re-shipping through App Review for every change. Steplark builds onboarding in a dashboard and serves it over the air.
Can I A/B test onboarding the way Superwall A/B tests paywalls?
Yes. Steplark runs sticky, per-device A/B tests across onboarding and paywall screens. A user who lands in one variant stays there even after you reweight, so your results aren't noise.
Can I switch from Superwall to Steplark?
Yes. Integration is a single configure call with your API key, and the flow presents itself on launch. Most apps can stand Steplark up alongside their existing setup in an afternoon.
How much does Steplark cost compared to Superwall?
Steplark is priced on one thing — the monthly users who see your funnel — and never takes a percentage of your revenue. It's free up to 2,500 monthly users, then a flat monthly price by reach.
