The idea of freemium is to use the free features to hook the users, and then charge them for premium features. The problem with this model is that if your free feature set is too poor, people simply won't get hooked. And if you cover all the "core" features users look for (i.e. get them hooked) people don't want to pay for the premium (lower marginal utility).
