The executive summary is that a free extension with ~70,000 users had a conversion rate to paid users of about 0.1%. Of course, this situation is different than yours, as you're not starting with users who already associate your extension with being free.
- hackerbob 16y agoThanks that is informative. Do you think having a free version is a bad idea, if you ultimately aim for revenue through a paid version?
- cfinke 16y agoI'd go paid from the get-go. In my experience, once users associate something with "free," it's much harder to get them to pay anything for a similar product.
