A clear, athlete-first path to sustainability

One simple order for how the product grows and earns: a great free experience first, then light optional ads, then memberships later.

What was built

We made our approach explicit and athlete-first: grow a genuinely useful free experience, then introduce light, youth-safe ads, and only later add optional paid memberships. Paid features stay clearly “coming soon” until then, with optional email notifications.

Implementation highlights

  • A great free experience comes first
  • Any ads are light and youth-safe
  • Memberships are optional and clearly “coming soon”

In a nutshell
