Why Do Most Free Trial Users Never Upgrade?
SaaS companies often struggle with converting free trial users into paying customers. Data shows that only 20-30% of free trial users ever convert, leaving massive revenue on the table.
Common Reasons Users Don’t Convert:
-
Lack of urgency – They don’t feel the need to upgrade immediately.
-
Low engagement – Users sign up but never explore the product fully.
-
Trust concerns – They aren’t sure if the investment is worth it.
