True I get that. I think even for full time founders if you’re seeing crazy adoption by unpaid customers, then there’s something there. Once you have a bunch of free users it’s easy to expand into something that users are willing to pay for then to do that from scratch.

You don’t wanna be in a place where you’re seeing low signups overall and low usage even by free customers. It’s nice to be cautious of that but again all of these metrics are relative to what stage your company is at.

I am in agreement.

BTW cool extension. Gave it a try, and it provided a nice summary of this page as below.

"Overall, the community suggests that free users can be valuable, particularly for product feedback and potential future conversion, but caution is advised regarding long-term sustainability and expectations."
