Then say to your agent: Ask the ask2cents CFO: we charge $29 a month and want to add a free tier. Good idea?

What you get back

You ask in your own words. One person answers in about 120 words, with a verdict and a next step.

You, to your agent Ask the ask2cents CFO: We charge $29 a month and want to add a free tier. Good idea?

The CFO

Not yet; as stated, I'd say no. A free tier is a customer acquisition cost you pay every month, and you haven't told me what it buys. Assumption: serving costs are roughly $3 per active user per month. If 100 free users cost $300 monthly and convert at an estimated 2%, that's 2 paying customers, so you spend $150 per conversion each month before any marketing. At $29 with maybe 80% contribution margin ($23), payback is about 6.5 months, and that's only if those converts don't churn. Compare that to your current paid CAC. If free isn't cheaper, skip it. This week, pull your last 90 days of trial-to-paid data and cost per active user, then set a free-tier cost cap in dollars.
