Ask HN: What are your intra-price plan conversion rates?

19 pointsby petenixeyalmost 13 years ago
What is the breakdown between the different account levels (bronze/silver/gold) in your freemium payment model. Cheap customers cost more (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4035516) so how many profitable customers can you expect?<p>Knowing this (and which bracket is most profitable) is a great way of modelling a potential revenue strem. Years back Ryan Carson published the numbers for Dropsend:<p><pre><code> * Basic ($5): 216 customers * Standard ($9): 157 customers * Pro ($19): 90 customers * Business ($99): 43 customers </code></pre> The top band generated 4x more revenue and presumably had at least 5x lower support costs than the bottom. Stats like this are very helpful as they help uncover the viability of a business model.<p>Do you have a paid service and are you willing to share your price-band divisions? If so I and I'm sure the community would be very grateful for your insight. Thank you.
