Should you go trial or freemium? My takeaways from analyzing 50+ SaaS products:
1. You don't have to choose, you can do both! 90% of freemium products also offer a trial.
2. Go trial if your product needs hand-holding and has a high price-point.
3. Go freemium otherwise.
The most powerful and interesting media model will remain raising money from members who don’t just permit but insist that the product be given away for free.
my friend just started working here. i've been thinking a lot about how subscription based pricing is unoptimal. curious to see how usage-based billing might work for sublime.
