If anything, it seems like putting a time restriction in that case is actively good for the business, as you want to create a sense of urgency for the person to experiment before the time runs out. If it's on usage, the person trialing has no incentive to engage immediately?
- a_e_k 4y agoIn my case, that often means that I simply won't engage at all. I usually find myself wondering if now is really the best time to start the trial, or whether I'd be better off saving it for another time. I might need it more later, or have a project that's a good fit for the trial, or have more free time later, so I put it off. Then that cycle repeats until I eventually forget about the product entirely and move on to something else. It's a bit like the "Too Awesome to Use" trope [0]. I am much more likely to engage with feature-limited trials without an expiration, or at least usage-based trials.
