  • There is a 10x gap between the top 20 percent of products and the bottom 20 percent.
  • Products requiring an upfront credit card convert at about 30 percent, roughly 5x those that do not.
  • Free trial is the primary entry point for 57 percent of products, and 62 percent of trials run 14 days.
