Ask HN: Freesomething.com with a paid plan?
So I have a service I'm thinking of implementing, and I have the domain name freesomething.com reserved. My goal is to let users do something they may want to (upsell from the free service), by paying an annual or monthly fee (haven't decided yet).
Question is; freesomething.com with an upsell? Is this too blatantly a bait and switch?
- brudgers 9y agoRandom advice from the internet: 1. Anchoring the value of the product to $0 may limit the ceiling on possible prices. 2. Producing a free version with upgrades creates an incentive to make something that is deliberately bad to use because it is easier to make the free version suck than to add functionality to the paid version that convinces people to pay. 3. freeanything.com is probably a lousy name for anything that is intended to be good. Good luck.
