App Store custom-page value before cheap conversion wins
Judge each custom product page by downstream subscription performance and sales, not only by the cheapest conversion rate on the surface.
Why this can grow a startup
A custom product page can look like a winner when it merely attracts an easier click. Apple's App Store Connect Analytics goes further than page views and downloads. It exposes downstream signals such as subscription performance and sales for each custom product page. That is the useful operating constraint. A page aimed at bargain hunters or casual browsers can post a decent install rate while sending weaker subscribers into the product. The team should keep the page that brings in the better customer, not the page that flatters the top-of-funnel chart.
Company example

Source and metric
Source: App Store Connect Analytics Help: Custom Product Pages
Apple reports downstream subscription performance and sales for each custom product page alongside page views, downloads, and conversion rate.
When to use it
Use this when Analytics, App Store, Subscriptions is relevant to app store, subscription apps, measurement and you can run a bounded test with a low budget.
When not to use it
Do not use it as a substitute for customer evidence, a clear owner, or a measurable stop condition. Local platform rules and market behavior still need checking.
