Sorry, should have been more explicit: For most of Planscope's history, I captured credit card upfront. Growth was decent, but I wanted to see what would happen if I dropped that requirement. So I did, and growth plummeted (very few signups were converting.) My gut reaction was "REVERT!" (which is where that blog post stemmed from), but after talking with a few people I figured that maybe it's not as simple as just changing how signing up works... maybe I need to tweak a lot of other stuff. So I did, and now that it's been in production for a few months growth has eclipsed the card upfront rate.

So what all did you tweak to make it work? If you'd prefer not to be public about it, message me in the Academy (this is Dave Rodenbaugh)
