How do you decide what features should be free and what should be paid?

Let me start from the creator s perspective:
I personally don t have a product (apart from hiring people for creative work or offering personal consultations).

But as a creator, I constantly share content, insights, and information, value that helps me build trust (for free). Based on that perceived expertise, people eventually decide to work with me (a paid service).

Recall Release Notes: Feb 19, 2026 - Quiz 2.0 with Shared Challenges

When we released the first version of the Quiz in Recall, we weren't sure how our users would respond. The Product Hunt launch exceeded our expectations, earning us product of the day, week, and month! Quiz has since become one of our stickiest features, with an average of 70 questions answered per user per month.

Given the strong engagement, we decided to invest further, bringing more question types, more flexibility in your review schedule, and our most exciting addition yet: shared quizzes. Save any content into Recall: YouTube videos, podcasts, PDFs, articles, TikToks, or take your own rich text notes and head over to the quiz tab to get started.
