I start a trial to try out the service, as I think that is paramount in making a decision of whether I will continue with a (paid) subscription. Many services are successful because of trials. Some get their trials abused by people setting up multiple accounts, but that can be mitigated with phone verification and other tactics. (It's trickier to get disposable phone numbers than disposable emails)
- xz18r 5y agoTrue, but one trial is not like the other. Any specific 'form factors' (like the ones mentioned above) that play a role in deciding to start one? Or does everything come down to the product as presented on the accompanying website?
- sysadm1n 5y agoI usually case the joint of a service before signing up. So the service has to have screenshots, testimonials, and a thriving community before I consider hitting 'register'. I often have a gut instinct cultivated by years of signing up for random services, that I listen to before hitting 'register' too. It could be something simple that turns me off like a broken link in the footer, and other red flags like not having the full legal address of the business in the 'about' section.
