I think that being up-front about the product being in beta is better.
If I "try it for free" and see a product that's not good enough for release, I'll give up and never come back again. If I know your product is in beta, I could see myself signing up to get notified when the product is officially released.
- dkersten 5y agoThis is my feeling too. Yes, beta might scare away users, but they may come back later. If someone signs up only to find it in "beta quality" and leave because its not up to their standards, those people aren't coming back and may even say negative things to others.
- softmodeling 5y agoI think this could also depend on your target users. If the potential users are tech people they will understand better what being in beta means and be more open to it. I'm not sure this is also the case when we're talking about business/non-tech users
- dkersten 5y agoThat's a good point, yes.
