The problem about drawing any broader conclusions here is it appears to boil down to "Don't offer a 90 day free trial in the podcast hosting business because most customers run their course in 56 days" Not sure it really tells us anything about the effectiveness of a free trial for x days and pay vs a charge now with a 30 day money back guarantee


true! i tried to make that point at the very end of the post... maybe should have emphasized it more


I enjoyed reading the post, and was relieved to see the caveat at the end, but when you shout things like:

> "Beware The Free Trial ... SaaS builders! BEWARE!"

I don't think it's just a lack of emphasis... It's the presence of jumping to conclusions and offering that as a general lesson.
