I wanted to share an interesting (and unexpected) turn of events with my product, Skimming AI.
Initially, I launched an open trial for all use cases, thinking it would allow users to explore the platform without limitations. But soon, I noticed a recurring pattern—people were creating multiple accounts to exploit the free trial. Instead of feeling frustrated, I decided to take a bold step: end the trial altogether.
Here’s what happened next:
Within just 3 days, my MRR shot up by 150%, reaching $300.
This response made me realize the genuine value users saw in the product despite removing the trial.
With the holiday season around the corner, I thought—why not make Skimming AI accessible to everyone? So, starting today, Skimming AI is completely free for everyone.
Enjoy unlimited conversations with multiple data sources all in one place.
I’d love to hear your thoughts, especially if you’ve faced similar challenges with trials or freemium strategies.
