apps that want to monetize early on need to have a freemium model try it out, and pay if it solves a problem for you e.g. i happily pay monthly for openai, duolingo, and edreams. why? because i use them often, and they solve a problem for me. when that happens, i don’t care about the pricing same can happen in crypto. if it makes your life easier or helps you earn smth in return, payment shouldn’t be a problem. study /supercast on pricing i agree there need to be a fix in our industry if we want to onboard new users. pricing needs to be displayed in stables and let users pay for it with a credit card

Depends :) Free tiers can be expensive in aggregate and often bring fraud and abuse. They have a support burden even if not officially offered. It’s work to slice your app up into upsells and some folks never convert anyway.

I didn't notice this was in /consumercrypto – I agree most consumer apps should have free tiers or ad / fee based models since consumers generally don't pay. (but I'm glad I don't for /glass for example. Way simpler operationally)

wouldn’t that translate to the app not being good enough for you? i agree with that, and if we check the stats, i’m sure many people stop using these apps because they have to pay. however, the ones that do convert become loyal users maybe that’s a strategy someone wants to risk on
