Annual plans: two months free, or 20% off?
Monthly churn is 6.1%. I need runway more than I need MRR optics. Which framing actually moved annual take-rate for you?

Trial length: three days or seven?
The 7-day trial converts 4.1% to paid, but refunds are creeping up and most of them say “forgot to cancel”. Is a 3-day trial the honest fix or just a smaller top of funnel?

We went 7 to 3 in March. Trial-to-paid went from 3.8% to 6.9% and refunds dropped by a third. Shorter trial, fewer people forget.
Or keep 7 and add a day-5 reminder push. Ours cut refund requests 40% because nobody felt ambushed by the charge.
Testing 3-day on iOS first, with a day-2 reminder. Numbers in two weeks.

Two months free. Annual take-rate went from 11% to 34% in 60 days. “Free months” reads as a gift. “20% off” reads as a discount people plan to ignore.
Whichever you pick, watch month 13. We send a usage recap at day 330 and it cut annual churn in half.
The day-330 recap is the move. Ours links straight to “switch to monthly” and annual renewals still hold at 81%.
Cash up front let me hire support two months early. That was worth more than the discount cost.
Two months free, plus the day-330 recap. Shipping the toggle Monday. I’ll post take-rate in 30 days.
