Founder here. Thanks for posting. Karmalytics was my first SaaS project and I learned a lot along the way, from both a technical and marketing point of view.

I think freemium was the wrong route to go here from the start. I ended up giving away 95% of the value and trying to monetize the other 5%. Maybe you can get away with that if you have a VC behind you, but its really hard for a solo founder to pull off.
To my current users, I apologize for the inconvenience. Thank you for trying us out and providing invaluable feedback as we grew.
Cheers,

- cat9 11y agoFreemium is the wrong route far more often than not, and I'm only going to cheer you on for making the decision which lets you continue to develop a stable business around your services. It sucks to have to change your stance after the fact. There will probably be vocal opposition to doing so. But your odds of still being in business three years from now just shot up.
