Ilytics update on the Freemium to Trial Model Migration.
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.
