Increase revenue by adding free trial to paid plans

Hi,

I know there is a free Tier, and when a user runs out of credits he/she may then purchase a paid plan.

However, less than 10% of free trials end up in a paid customer.

It is much more efficient and persuasive to offer the users a limited free trial (for 3, 5 or 7 days, or for a certain amount of credits), and after it expires, the user automatically enter the paid tier.

Of course, that would mean that in order to access the free trial, they have to input their credit card details.

This sales process is what most SaaS or apps are doing nowadays, as reduces friction for customers.

I hope you’ll consider it in your roadmap, thanks!

Thanks for sharing your perspective! The Free plan already works like a trial - users get limited credits to try Pickaxe, and once those are used, they can upgrade if they want to keep going. Many users who like the product choose to upgrade on their own, and this has been working well so far.

What sets Pickaxe apart is that builders can earn by selling subscriptions to their tools, and a big part of our model is that when builders succeed, Pickaxe succeeds too.

We’ve chosen a no-commitment entry point for now so anyone can try the platform easily, but your point about card-based trials is a good one and I’ll share it with the team. As of now, the free version itself is the trial.

Indeed @pau4navarro , It converts better in that way. I am working right now in implementing this Saas model with a Thrivecart funnel. I will let you know as soon as I am done with it. Any way, I am also interested if they considerate it in the roadmap.
