Free tier too generous, paid converts at 0.3%

A practical fix and a copyable AI coding prompt. Replace bracketed placeholders with your project details.

1. Check the problem

0.3% is normal for freemium SaaS, most free users were never going to pay regardless. Switch to a 7-14 day full-feature trial instead: trials convert 10-30% against freemium's 1-5%.

2. Use the prompt

My freemium tier converts to paid at about 0.3%. Help me switch to a 7-14 day full-feature trial for [product]. Design the trial: length, what's gated, the upgrade moments, and the emails during the trial. Explain the expected conversion lift versus freemium so I can sanity-check it.

3. Verify the fix

Review the proposed diff, run the relevant checks and exercise the original failing flow before merging.
