Free Trial Adoption Varies by Category
The strategy depends on your market. Developer tools and project management tools lean heavily into freemium (80%+ offer free tiers). Cybersecurity and enterprise HR products rely more on demo-first, sales-led approaches (under 50% offer free access).
The Annual Discount Pattern
68% of SaaS products offer annual billing discounts — typically 15-30% off monthly prices. The discount itself has become a conversion tool: showing the savings prominently on the pricing page is now a required practice.
