Keep founders close to support while testing freemium
How Tally approached activation.
What they did
Tally offered a generous free form builder and charged for Pro. In the two-person stage, Marie triaged support and Filip handled technical issues.
Reported outcome
The June 2022 account disclosed 775 paying customers and $20,700 MRR while also discussing support capacity and software costs.
An idea to test, from Afterlaunch
Freemium needs a clear paid upgrade and a support workload the team can sustain.
Small experiment: Track support minutes per active free user alongside free-to-paid conversion for a month.
A company’s reported outcome doesn’t prove one tactic caused it. Treat this as a hypothesis.
