                               Full Launch
                               May 2011
Pricing           Original




Pricing based on feature sets.
• Very few upgrades because of large gaps between price points
Pricing           Starting May 2011




Kept same feature differentiation but
switched to pricing per seat.
• Makes higher end feature sets more accessible
• Revenue scales up with customer usage. More upgrade options
Results   Switch to per seat model




     22%              ∆ DOWNGRADES


     242%             ∆ UPGRADES



     26%              ∆ ACCOUNTS
                      (at 14 months post signup)

Switching to a per seat model (from a
flat monthly rate) had a big impact
without eroding ARPC.
Discounts    Things that worked


    LEGACY       PER SEAT

                                  (vs non-discounted accounts)
Trial Extensions        Things that worked



Accounts that extend their trial are...
... 2.5X more likely to convert.
... 5X more likely to upgrade.
Reactivations     Things that worked




    50%        ACCOUNT REACTIVATIONS
               (churned accounts returning)


On payment failures, prompt account admins to
decide whether to reactivate to their previous
plan or switch to free.
Annual Billing     Things that worked




9%     PREPAID ANNUALLY


A great, simple way to boost cash flow.
Unknowns                      Things that *may* have worked



Some changes need more data to definitively
know whether they worked...
Migrating $5 plans to Free
Have a free offering of every product. Revenue loss was minimal.


Don’t run billing on the weekends
Payment failures happen during the business week when people are around to recover from them.
Next   Reduce the number of plans
