My co-founder wants to add ads to our free tier. I'm convinced it will cannibalize our subscription revenue and cheapen the entire brand experience.

We're a US company but have a lot of EU users. The VAT/sales tax compliance is a looming nightmare. Are you using a service to handle this?

We tried a 7-day free trial versus a 14-day one. The 7-day trial actually converted better for us. I guess urgency is a real thing.

I'm tempted to try a "pay what you want" model for a small side-project. Seems like a recipe for making exactly zero dollars, but I'm curious.

Our CFO is asking for a revenue forecast. With the unpredictability of trials and churn, how does anyone create a model that isn't complete fiction?

We got rid of our free plan and went with a 14-day mandatory trial. User numbers dropped, but our trial-to-paid conversion rate went way up.

For those who made the switch from a free app to a paid one, how did you do it? Did you just flip a switch or create a whole new app listing?

Has anyone tried monetizing with one-time in-app purchases for specific features instead of a subscription? Wondering if it could beat our current MRR.

That "middle" pricing tier. Is it just a decoy to make your main plan look like a better deal? I'm not sure anyone on our platform actually buys it.

We finally added a "Request a Feature" button, but only for paying users. It's been a surprisingly effective way to justify the Pro plan.

Let's talk paywalls. Do you show it on the first launch (hard), or after a few key actions (soft)? We're worried about scaring new users away too quickly.

How are you all handling price increases for existing subscribers? It feels like a great way to trigger a massive churn wave if you get the messaging wrong.

We changed our annual discount from "Save 20%" to "Get 2 Months Free." The conversion rate on the annual plan ticked up. Same value, different framing.

How do you test a price increase? A/B test on new users only? Or do you just have to roll it out and pray the churn isn't catastrophic?
