Adapty is hiring a Growth Product Manager to bring apps "concrete recommendations on paywalls, pricing, and A/B tests". Its biggest public asset for that conversation, the Paywall Library of roughly 9,000 app pages, has gone stale: in a sample of 32 pages the newest screenshot was captured on November 3, 2024, and the oldest in December 2021. The sitemaps still date almost every page to October 2024, the index claims 8,900+ paywalls in one place and 10,000+ in another, and each page ends with a generic Paywall Builder button instead of the teardown skill and 2026 benchmarks Adapty already has.

Why it works
Re-capture the top 1,000 apps by estimated revenue first (they get the most traffic), show the capture date prominently, and add a "What we would test on this paywall" block generated with the Paywall Teardown method and checked by a Growth PM. Link each page to its category's 2026 benchmark from State of Paywalls and to a "Tear down my paywall" call to action. Update sitemap lastmod when a page really changes, and make the library count one number.
Teams browsing competitors' paywalls are exactly the growth managers the Growth PM team serves. Fresh screens plus a concrete test idea turn a reference site into a demo of Adapty's judgement, and accurate lastmod dates get the refreshed pages re-crawled.

Risks and how to handle them
Recapturing 9,000 pages is slow
Start with the top 1,000 and refresh the rest on a rolling schedule.
Test ideas look generic
Have a Growth PM approve each block for the top 200 apps.

- Your websiteA sample of 32 Paywall Library app pages (every 60th URL in two library sitemaps, checked October 22, 2026): screenshot "Captured" dates run from December 2021 to November 3, 2024; none is from 2025 or 2026. In the two sitemap files, 1,900 of 1,903 entries carry an October 2024 lastmod and the newest is February 2025. The Anatomy Learning page shows "Latest info update October 19, 2026" next to screenshots captured in 2023 and 2024, and gives "1,375 reviews" in one block and "487 ratings" in another.Source
