Handbook

The web monetization playbook every app team needs in 2026

In this five-part handbook, we outline how winning app teams are pulling ahead in the post-App Store, fast-growth AI era.

Staying in the fast lane guide

In today’s AI era, web monetization unlocks higher margins, better LTV, and a direct relationship with your customers – but only if the system underneath it is built right.

Each part of this handbook tackles a critical piece of that system, drawing on data from Paddle's network of 6,000+ apps and insights from growth experts Phil Carter and Steve Young.
