How do you decide whether to pay for a product 💵 or stick with the free version? 🆓
Hey PH friends, most of us start with the free version of a product to try it out, but at some point, we wonder if it’s worth paying for the extra features (like I’m thinking about for X/Twitter đź¤).
Do you make the switch when the free version no longer meets your needs? Or is it more about saving time and getting the most out of the product? (For example, I bought an Adobe membership 5 years ago when I needed more advanced features.) Or maybe it’s just about supporting the creators.
On that note, I’m curious—if you were using my product, www.feedspace.io, would you consider upgrading, or would you prefer sticking to the free version? No pressure at all, just genuinely curious to know what helps you make that decision?
I’d love to hear your thoughts!💬

Great question! For me, the decision to upgrade from a free version to a paid plan usually comes down to a mix of things. If I hit a point where the free version no longer covers my needs (like needing more advanced features or higher limits), I’m definitely more inclined to pay.

If I cannot do without a product then I will definitely pay for it, otherwise no need to buy or will go with a free alternative
Depending on:
- My needs
- The time it takes to switch from the tool I'm currently using
- The features offered in the paid version
For example, I'm currently using Zoho as my webinar solution. The free version was sufficient at first, but as more and more people subscribed, I eventually had to upgrade to the paid version :)
I upgrade when the free version no longer does the job. If I need more advanced features like with design tools its worth it
Well, I suppose it depends on how much of the gap it fills for my burning need.
