Free Freemium SaaS Revenue Model Template

Freemium SaaS Sales Projection Template FAQs

How long is the typical SaaS free trial period?

According to UserPilot a 14 day free trial is typical for a SaaS product.  If it takes much longer than 14 days for a user to find value in your product, then a freemium SaaS model might not be a good fit for your business.  You might be better off locking in annual contracts and providing onboarding support to new customers. 

What is a typical conversion rate from free trial to subscriber in SaaS?

This can vary dramatically depending on whether a customer has to opt-in to subscribe after a free trial, or if they have to opt-out of the subscription.  According to UserPilot a free trial to opt-in subscription conversion rate averages 25% whereas an opt-out conversion rate can average 60%.  

What is the typical conversion rate of a website visitor to signing up for a free trial?

According to InnerTrends, freemium SaaS businesses can expect 2% of visitors to convert into a free trial user. 

Are there examples of the freemium SaaS business model working with B2B SaaS?

There are many B2B SaaS companies that have successfully utilized a freemium model.  Slack is known for allowing internal staff to start using Slack for free and then moving up the food chain to sell the entire department or company on a Slack subscription.  One of my favorite B2B SaaS tools, Formstack, has a free trial period as well that gives you an account with limitations for free.
