Snapshot
Vadim ShevchukFounder, GenioKid“We saw that we couldn't properly attribute users through direct-to-store, and competitors were going to web, so we knew that's where we needed to go.”
GenioKid is an educational app for children, built by Learning Tools. The team ran paid acquisition on Meta, sending traffic straight to the App Store with no reliable way to trace it back to a campaign.
To fix attribution and gain full control over monetization, GenioKid moved to web2app and chose FunnelFox over a competing platform. Working with the FunnelFox Growth Team, they launched funnels across multiple product angles and scaled into six new markets.

Challenge: No attribution, no control over monetization
GenioKid ran paid acquisition on Meta and sent traffic directly to the App Store. It worked, but came with hard limits.
Attribution was the core problem. With direct-to-store campaigns, there's no reliable way to track which ad or audience converted into a paying subscriber. The team was spending without knowing what was driving results.
On top of that, every change to the paywall or checkout meant a new release cycle and App Store review. No room to run pricing experiments or restructure offers on the fly. And every subscription came with a 30% platform cut on top.
Meanwhile, competitors were already moving to web funnels.
Solution: Full-stack web2app infrastructure with a growth team behind it
Building web2app funnels in-house sounds straightforward until you account for everything that needs to work around them. Payments, attribution, post-purchase app access, subscription management, analytics.
GenioKid decided early on that building and maintaining that infrastructure wasn't where they wanted to spend their resources. They went looking for a platform where it was already built.
They evaluated two options. FunnelFox won as it had everything GenioKid needed in one place: funnel infrastructure, payments, and analytics. And behind it, a growth team with deep experience in what actually converts across mobile verticals.
Scaling into six new markets
The FunnelFox Growth Team got to work fast. They identified the angles that resonated with GenioKid's audience, launched funnels around them, and tested against different audience segments until the top performers emerged.
From there, the focus shifted to scale. Funnels went live in six languages — Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Turkish, and Arabic — opening up new markets for GenioKid.
Cancellation flows were layered in to retain users at the moment they were closest to leaving.
“FunnelFox is the best on the market right now, that's a fact. I genuinely recommend them to the founders I advise.”

Wrap-up
GenioKid came in with a solid product and a clear growth ambition, but without the infrastructure to match it. Direct-to-store campaigns gave the team no visibility into attribution and no control over monetization.
Moving to web changed that. With FunnelFox, GenioKid got full visibility into what was driving conversions, a scalable funnel infrastructure across multiple markets and languages, and a growth team that knew how to hit the ground running.
The MRR speaks for itself. And there's more ahead — upsells and FunnelFox Billing are both on the roadmap as GenioKid continues to scale.
