About Heavn

[Heavn is a subscription-based mobile app — please confirm a one-line product description before publishing.]

The Growth Challenge

When Heavn partnered with Scalebay, paid activity was delivering installs in high volume but converting too few of them into paying subscribers:

  • Volume over value: campaigns were optimised toward cheap, top-of-funnel installs rather than bottom-funnel subscription events.
  • Weak funnel efficiency: the path from install to account to subscription leaked at every step, keeping cost per subscriber high.
  • Unprofitable spend: return on ad spend sat below break-even, so scaling simply meant losing more.

Our Strategy

Our experts rebuilt Heavn's paid user acquisition around subscription value instead of install volume.

1. Re-optimised toward subscribers

We shifted bidding and campaign objectives away from raw installs and toward the subscription event, so budget chased paying users rather than cheap downloads.

2. Audience & creative refinement

We concentrated spend on the highest-intent audiences, placements and creative angles, deliberately trimming low-quality install volume.

3. Funnel tightening

We reworked the install → account → subscription journey to lift conversion quality at every step.

Our Results

ROAS more than doubled

Comparing the first full month of the engagement to the most recent period, return on ad spend grew +137%, taking paid UA past break-even and into profitability.

Subscribers acquired far more efficiently

Cost per subscriber fell 59%, while the install-to-subscriber conversion rate rose +360% — the direct result of buying intent instead of volume.

Growth without bloated spend

The daily rate of new subscribers climbed +142% even as install spend was made leaner, proving that quality of acquisition beats raw volume.
