One point this article misses entirely: the paid side of the freemium model is about including extra features useful enough to power/pro users that they'd be willing to pay for them.
Lack of ads is just a bonus.
- notauser 18y agoIn a freemium model there don't have to be any ads at all! Your basic service can be totally free, provided you can justify it as marketing expenditure with the conversion rate to paid services. The biggest problem I can see with running ads on the free tier of on a two tier service is that the people most interested in buying advertising will be your direct competitors. It might not be too smart to give them easy access to your user base.
