What you'll get
An expert review of your upgrade journey
I go through the path from signup to payment the way a real user would, looking for confusion, missing value, weak triggers, and moments where users lose the reason to pay.
A data-backed diagnosis of what’s costing you revenue
I match the experience against your product data, funnel behavior, session recordings, and upgrade points to see where users drop, stall, or never understand the paid value.
A redesigned free-to-paid path
You get a prototype of redesigned upgrade moments your team can implement: from onboarding and paywalls to pricing pages, upgrade prompts, and in-product triggers.
60-min team walkthrough
I walk your team through everything live and answer any questions.

Deliverable #1
Funnel Analysis
I look at where users drop, stall, or never reach the moment where paid feels worth it — matched against industry benchmarks to show you not just what's broken, but why users aren't making the decision to upgrade.

Deliverable #2
Upgrade Journey
Breakdown
For every step from signup to upgrade trigger, I identify what users need to understand, feel, or believe before they're ready to pay — and where the current experience falls short of that. Each screen gets an insight, the gap between intended and actual user state, and the move that closes it.

Redesigned Moves
Not a list of fixes. The actual redesigned product moments — prompts, paywalls, triggers, copy, flow — built around how people actually decide, ready to hand straight to your team.

When our clients struggle with their free-to-paid conversion, Anastasia is the person I want in the room. She has a rare mix of psychology, product strategy, and ruthless prioritization - she can quickly pinpoint the real problem, even in noisy data and complex orgs, and turn it into concrete changes to onboarding, pricing, and upgrade flows. If you want to improve your free-to-paid conversion rate, working with her is an easy decision.

Anastasia is one of the very few people I trust to look at a messy funnel and tell me what actually matters. I’ve seen her handle very tough clients and teams, earn their trust fast with early growth wins, and still keep an eye on the long-term strategy. She combines deep user psychology with practical product sense, so her recommendations turn into clear, doable plans instead of vague insights.

Anastasia is an incredibly knowledgeable individual who offered advice on how to approach trials and freemium options for our brand.
She took the time to discuss the options we're exploring and shared pros, cons, and common pitfalls to watch out for.
She unlocked new concepts and considerations, which will prove invaluable as we progress through the validation stage. I'd highly recommend Anastasia as a mentor!

Kumo
Anastasia worked with our team for a couple of months and helped us make real progress on free-to-paid conversion for our freemium product with a trial on top.
She set up product analytics so we could finally see how users onboard, where they drop, and where upgrades actually come from, then used that to guide changes to our trial model, pricing page, paywalls, and upgrade triggers. One of the new upgrade paths she suggested now converts about 3x better than what we had before, and we’ve also increased new trial signups.
Working with her was very easy. She combined clear strategic guidance with hands-on help: from designing the full event tracking system to producing mockups and real copy for the website and upgrade email flows.
I’d happily recommend Anastasia to any team that wants to improve free-to-paid conversion and build product-led upgrades growth.

Anastasia was incredible to work with — she brought clarity, structure, and empathy to a complex challenge. She quickly pinpointed the root cause of our user drop-off and helped me reframe what I thought were multiple issues into a single, solvable onboarding problem.
Her insights were both strategic and tactical, blending high-level frameworks with actionable, low-lift changes that will meaningfully improve user experience. She offered thoughtful ideas on everything from copywriting and flow to UX simplification and user psychology, all grounded in real-world startup experience. I left the session energized, reassured, and with a clear direction forward.
Highly recommend.

Anastasia was kind and extremely helpful. I felt that my concerns and issues were immediately understood, and I walked away with actionable feedback for both the short and long term. I came to the meeting wanting to better understand pricing strategy, and left with a plan as well as a new passion for finding creative ways to get user feedback on my product.

MyLnker
I brought Anastasia in at a critical moment for MyLnker, a tool designed for entrepreneurs and content creators to optimize their online presence. We were facing a conversion challenge we couldn't fully diagnose internally users were signing up but very few were converting to paid. I needed an outside perspective from someone who understands how users think and why they don't upgrade.
Anastasia delivered a thorough audit of our full upgrade motion from onboarding to pricing to in-product triggers and came back with a clear, structured diagnosis and a prioritized set of recommendations. More importantly, she was direct. When I asked Anastasia the hard questions about our market and our model, she gave me honest answers grounded in data and real experience, not just what I wanted to hear. That kind of candor is rare and exactly what you need when you're making strategic decisions.
The live walkthrough session was particularly valuable. Anastasia walked us through real UX/UI observations, shared competitive references in real time, and helped us think through our priorities given our team size and stage.
We're now implementing her recommendations and working through the strategic decisions she helped us frame. It's a process, but the clarity we walked away with was well worth it.
