At <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;views.tools" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;views.tools</a> we&#x27;re giving users a 30-day free trial provided you enter your CC details upfront.<p>Our product will be involved deep enough into your tech stack that you need a bit more than the standard 7&#x2F;14 days to try it out.<p>We&#x27;re testing this model first because of the feedback we got from other YC companies (we&#x27;re part of YC SUS 2018). They said we should charge as soon as we can to get validation. Most of them charged too late and regret it because there wasn&#x27;t enough commitment from their users.<p>On this talk from the lectures <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;xZi4kTJG-LE?t=1986" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;xZi4kTJG-LE?t=1986</a>, the speaker suggests going more aggressively at it and ask for an annual agreement with a 30-day money back agreement instead of a free trial. The point is that it gives us validation and commitment. We&#x27;re discussing that now.
