Monetization modelsWhere the revenue comes from

Freemium

Free + Premium

The basic version of the product is free, while advanced features, higher limits, or additional services are paid. Examples: Spotify, Dropbox, LinkedIn.

Why it matters

Lowers the entry barrier, generates leads, and enables converting a portion of users to paid plans.

What's missing without it

Without this model, every new user must trust the product before trying it, which drastically narrows the funnel.

When it is used

When you want to quickly increase the number of users and allow them to test the product before purchasing.

How we use it

The free tier must be useful, but it must not fully replace the paid version — otherwise, no one will pay.
