It’s actually quite clever: Release an ‘update’ to everyone - even free users.
Then ‘roll back’ to the real version - but only for paid users.

Uber is the classic example of the startup with huge burn and high valuation and it's peanuts compared to the AI arena. But uBer disrupted a huge market with a very clear value proposition and monetization strategy.
