Description
In episode 71 of Product-Led Growth with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna drill into self-serve trial-to-paid conversion funnels. They break down how Canva turned a 60-day free trial into a $2.3 billion revenue engine by focusing on the 'aha moment' in the first session. The hosts dissect the activation triggers that push a free user to enter credit card details, the role of usage gating versus time gating, and why too many PLG products bury their pricing page. They also explore how Slack's self-serve funnel uses team size as a natural conversion lever. Packed with concrete metrics and a walkthrough of a real trial flow, this episode is essential for any SaaS operator building a self-serve revenue loop.
