UI Breakfast: UI/UX Design and Product Strategy

Episode 64: Making Freemium Work with Bridget Harris


Listen Later

Freemium is a wildly popular pricing model these days. But how do you make the free plan work for your business, not disrupt it? Today our guest is Bridget Harris, CEO and co-founder of YouCanBook.me. You'll learn why freemium is a great marketing tool, why free and paid users almost never overlap, and how to find the right balance between free and paid features. I already applied many of Bridget's tips in Tiny Reminder and am very grateful for her advice!
