How to Convert a Free User to a Premium User
> “Provide incentive for prospects to sign up for freemium but do not provide too much value so that free version of the product is enough.”<p>For me, Dropbox, Spotify and GitHub all do this - naming them as examples of companies that don't is plain wrong to me.<p>Dropbox: 2gb of storage is nothing (weird and a bit sickening, but still).<p>Spotify: The ads experience in Spotify is probably one of the worst user experiences I know - so no real value here.<p>GitHub: no private repos for free users (might have changed?) made me choose Bitbucket. No use without private.<p>All in all, I don't really agree with the article: I actually do believe that a not-amazing-but-still-great experience is the way to go. See: Asana. It's OK++ for free, but I pay because it's better when I pay.
