The Danger of the Freemium Model
"Freemium" (offering a basic version of your app for free) is a massive growth engine used by companies like Spotify, Notion, and Slack. However, free users are not actually "free." They cost you server space, API credits, customer support time, and bandwidth.
The Freemium Math Problem
If it costs you $1 a month to host a free user, and you have 10,000 free users, you are burning $10,000 a month. To survive, a small percentage of those users must upgrade to your $20/month Premium plan to subsidize the costs of the free tier.
What is a Good Freemium Conversion Rate?
- 1% - 2%: This is the industry standard for most consumer SaaS apps (like Spotify). You need massive scale to make this work.
- 3% - 5%: Excellent conversion rate. Indicates a highly sticky product where the premium features are desperately needed.
- 6%+: Elite tier (Slack, Notion). Usually implies a B2B product where the employer is paying for the upgrade, not the individual.
