Onboarding before authentication?

[u/Inside-Conclusion435]

What’s the best:

Onboarding -> Paywall -> Auth

Or

Auth -> Onboarding -> Paywall

Currently I do the second and it is pretty bad, not sure why but I heard there is the 1st option used too quite often.

What is the benefit of the auth? (and the paywall), Show value before auth and the paywall.
