Implemented 14 day free trial model replacing the old free tier. Users now sign up and get a free account with zero event tracking and must start a trial through Polar checkout with a credit card required to access any features. During the 14-day trial, they get full Pro access with 300K events, 10 sites, unlimited links, a real-time dashboard, UTM tracking, CSV export, custom domains, and everything else. After the trial ends Polar auto-charges $29 per month and upgrades them to Pro. If payment fails, the account goes back to a locked state.
Benefits: The revenue-first model means every paying user has a credit card on file before they even see the dashboard. No more free riders consuming resources. A trial gives full experience, so the conversion rate should be high. Clean separation between trial users and paid users in the database.
Ilytics is minimal real-time analytics and link tracking built for clarity. It gives you clean, actionable insights without dashboards full of noise or extra complexity. Handle 300,000–500,000 events per month, run everything on your own custom domains, and stay fully GDPR compliant by design. Simple to set up, privacy-focused from the start, and priced at $29/month so you can focus on understanding your traffic and links instead of fighting the tool.
