used. It’s similar to licensed software, except that all
future upgrades to the premium are free once purchased.

TRIAL

will not give the potential
customer the full package of
the product or service.
Free trials are limited in time and give the consumer the
whole experience of the product or the service.

FREE

convert at least 1% of the free
users into paying customers
Free means free. There are no upgrades for users
whatsoever or they are free as well. The only way free
can be free, is when the users pay with their data, their
attention or if you’re called Instagram and get acquired
for a billion dollars by Facebook.
