Video Ads That Drive Subscribers at Scale
Subscription apps live and die by trial-to-paid conversion. Sovran helps you produce high-volume video ads that showcase your app's value, onboarding experience, and user transformations — testing hooks and formats at the velocity needed to profitably acquire subscribers on Meta, TikTok, and YouTube.
The Challenge
Why Subscription-Based Mobile Apps teams struggle with video ads
These are the creative production bottlenecks we hear from teams in your industry every day.
Rising CPAs squeeze LTV margins
Subscription app CPAs on Meta keep climbing. The only lever you control is creative performance — and you need a constant pipeline of fresh ad variations to maintain profitable acquisition costs against tightening LTV:CAC ratios.
Trial-to-paid messaging is hard to get right
Free trial and paywall messaging is nuanced. Too aggressive and users bounce. Too soft and they don't convert. You need to test dozens of value-prop angles and urgency hooks to find what drives subscriptions without triggering churn.
Top creatives decay within days
Your best-performing acquisition ads lose effectiveness in 5-10 days as audiences saturate. Without a system to produce replacement creatives at velocity, your campaigns stall and CPA spikes.
Different user segments need different value props
Casual users, power users, and different demographic segments each respond to different app benefits. A meditation app sells 'sleep' to one segment and 'focus' to another — each needs tailored creative.
