      In the tech sector it can also work as free advertising for the company the trial person works at. I’m for example using a tool on the free tier for log aggregation and monitoring which I really like. I’ve thought of doing a startup sometime within the next year and at that point I already know that tool and will probably look at implementing that as the first option.

      Self hosters are a powerful marketing tool.

      Yes, it’s a classic.

      Pre-market fit it makes sense to be 100% free, as you want to gauge whether your product is attractive to people.

      Post-market fit you already know the product has traction, so now you want to gauge whether it is attractive enough for people to pay for it.
