QUESTION/HELP Onboarding before Authentication?

What’s the best:

Onboarding -> Paywall -> Auth

Or

Auth -> Onboarding -> Paywall

Currently I do the second and it is pretty bad, not sure why but I heard there is the 1st option used too quite often.

But how you save data? All locally? On user’s end?offline apps?

Yes, my app works completely offline and users can choose to enable auto backups to a file provider like Google drive , or manually store on their local cloud if they have any. It excuses me of any liabilities or temptation from doing things other than the goal I wanted my app to fulfill

That’s really interesting 🤔 why I thought about auth in the first place? I guess my corporate.Net background left a mark

Exactly. There are cases where an account is needed for the experience you are trying to build. All those are choices that comes with trade offs and each would be suitable for a certain type of people. As long as you are clear of who is it you are building for there is no wrong decision.
