CCN (TCG & Collectible Alerts) pricing and paywall terms

Annual $57.99/yr preselected and shown as $4.83/month, monthly $19.99/mo. Both verified against the Apple purchase sheets on screens 38 and 47 ($19.99 per month, $57.99 per year). No free trial and no strikethrough, so none of the locked paywall_style values fit: it is annual-default without a trial. The '30th Anniversary Offer' pill implies a discount but no original price is shown. The anchoring happens before the paywall, on a carousel of Pokemon 30th Celebration products priced MSRP against resale value ($59.99 vs $200, $179.99 vs $500, $26.94 vs $75, $21.99 vs $50), not against a previous subscription price.

Notifications are the first ask, sold with three fake alert previews: a Costco restock, a Pokemon Center queue going live, booster boxes hitting shelves. You're approving the product's core value rather than a generic 'stay updated'. The decline is 'maybe later' in small grey text under a full-width white button.
CCN (TCG & Collectible Alerts) onboarding screen 7: Location is the second ask, framed as 'Live location powers alerts the moment stock lands in stores nearby'…7
Location is the second ask, framed as 'Live location powers alerts the moment stock lands in stores nearby' over a map of Best Buy and Target pins. Permission screens land better when they show what the permission buys, and this one does. Two system permissions before a single question about you is aggressive, but for a restock app both are load-bearing.
CCN (TCG & Collectible Alerts) onboarding screen 9: Six fandoms as logo tiles: Pokemon, One Piece, Magic, Riftbound, Topps, LEGO9
Six fandoms as logo tiles: Pokemon, One Piece, Magic, Riftbound, Topps, LEGO. Logos read faster than text and they answer a real collector objection, which is whether the app covers your thing at all. Continue stays dim until you pick one, so the first tap is forced.
CCN (TCG & Collectible Alerts) onboarding screen 11: Eight retailers, every one pre-checked11
Eight retailers, every one pre-checked. Pre-selecting everything means most people continue without editing, so CCN gets permission to alert on all of them and nobody feels like they opted into noise. The risk is the other direction: Dollar General alerts you never wanted are how an app gets its notifications switched off in week two.
CCN (TCG & Collectible Alerts) onboarding screen 13: A 25 mile default on a Local Only to Nationwide slider13
A 25 mile default on a Local Only to Nationwide slider. Dragging it costs nothing and makes the feed feel like yours. The default does more work than the control, and 25 miles is wide enough that the first feed looks busy.
CCN (TCG & Collectible Alerts) onboarding screen 14: Brand new, A few items, Regular buyer, Serious collector14
Brand new, A few items, Regular buyer, Serious collector. Segmentation dressed as personalization, with labels written so nobody has to call themselves casual. 'Serious collector: this is my lifestyle' is the self-image being sold, and the $57.99 price is set for that person.
CCN (TCG & Collectible Alerts) onboarding screen 16: 'Buy what I love / Look for the best deal / All the big drops / Buying everything hyped.' Intent rather than…16
'Buy what I love / Look for the best deal / All the big drops / Buying everything hyped.' Intent rather than demographics, and it maps straight onto what they'll alert you about. Four options with a one-line subtitle each is about the ceiling before people start skimming.
CCN (TCG & Collectible Alerts) onboarding screen 17: A setup screen with three ticks: filtering your feed, connecting to your stores, setting up restock alerts17
A setup screen with three ticks: filtering your feed, connecting to your stores, setting up restock alerts. It replays the answers you just gave so the questions feel spent on something. None of it needs the wait.
CCN (TCG & Collectible Alerts) onboarding screen 18: A referral code field right after the loader, with 'skip for now' underneath18
A referral code field right after the loader, with 'skip for now' underneath. Asking here credits the creator codes this category grows on, before signup rather than after. For everyone else it's a dead screen, so the skip sits where a thumb already is.

CCN (TCG & Collectible Alerts) onboarding screen 19: Email signup arrives before you have seen a single restock19
Email signup arrives before you have seen a single restock. The copy sells the reason ('start getting restocks, drops and information') and Apple and Google sit right under the field. Asking this early costs conversion, but for an alerts product the email address is the product.
CCN (TCG & Collectible Alerts) onboarding screen 21: A second screen to confirm the address you just typed21
A second screen to confirm the address you just typed. It catches typos in the one field the whole product depends on, since a wrong email means alerts that never arrive. Cheap insurance for one extra tap.

'Your Name, shown on your finds and queue posts.' The subtitle is the interesting part: it tells you there's a social layer with posts and finds that you haven't seen yet. That's the reason to give a real name instead of a throwaway.
CCN (TCG & Collectible Alerts) onboarding screen 23: Password and confirm, with no Apple or Google shortcut on this screen even though both were offered two steps…23
Password and confirm, with no Apple or Google shortcut on this screen even though both were offered two steps back. Anyone who took the social route never sees this, so the people typing here are already the more committed half.
CCN (TCG & Collectible Alerts) onboarding screen 26: 'Password1 - This password is too common' fires on submit, after both fields are filled26
'Password1 - This password is too common' fires on submit, after both fields are filled. Validating under the field as you type is the fix, and it matters here because this is the last step before the paywall and every retry is a chance to quit.
CCN (TCG & Collectible Alerts) onboarding screen 29: Straight after signup, a swipeable set of Pokemon 30th Celebration products with MSRP next to resale value29
Straight after signup, a swipeable set of Pokemon 30th Celebration products with MSRP next to resale value. The Elite Trainer Box is $59.99 with a $200 value and a green '+$140 Increase' badge. The subscription is about to cost $57.99, so the anchor is set with someone else's numbers before any price of their own appears.
CCN (TCG & Collectible Alerts) onboarding screen 30: Ultra Premium Collection, $179.99 MSRP against a $500 value30
Ultra Premium Collection, $179.99 MSRP against a $500 value. Each card raises the claimed upside, and across the set you see +$140, +$320, +$48 and +$28. The arithmetic the screen wants is that one good alert pays for the year.
CCN (TCG & Collectible Alerts) onboarding screen 32: Booster Bundle at $26.94 against a $75 value32
Booster Bundle at $26.94 against a $75 value. Dropping back to a cheap item after the $500 one keeps the set believable, since a carousel of nothing but $500 boxes reads as a lottery ticket.
CCN (TCG & Collectible Alerts) paywall with pricing, onboarding screen 3636
'Waze, for finding Pokemon restock', with annual preselected at $57.99 broken down to $4.83 a month and monthly at $19.99. No free trial anywhere, which is unusual and points at wanting fewer, more committed subscribers rather than a big trial funnel. The '30th Anniversary Offer' pill lands on top of the headline, so the one-line positioning they clearly worked on is half unreadable.
CCN (TCG & Collectible Alerts) onboarding screen 38: The Apple sheet for the monthly plan, $19.99 per month38
The Apple sheet for the monthly plan, $19.99 per month. Read it against the annual: $19.99 a month is $239.88 a year versus $57.99, so monthly is here to make annual look obvious rather than to be sold.
CCN (TCG & Collectible Alerts) onboarding screen 42: Close the paywall and you land on 'Congrats, Jacob42
Close the paywall and you land on 'Congrats, Jacob! You're almost a member of CCN' with two buttons: Continue, which returns you to the paywall, and Logout. There is no free state, so the X on the paywall is decoration. Calling a non-paying user 'almost a member' is quiet pressure, and the first name is there because they collected it three screens earlier.
CCN (TCG & Collectible Alerts) onboarding screen 47: The annual sheet, $57.99 per year, confirmed with a side-button double click47
The annual sheet, $57.99 per year, confirmed with a side-button double click. That is as short as checkout gets on iOS, and it's why keeping the ask inside Apple's sheet beats sending people to a web form at this point in the flow.
