If I were lucky enough to create a website, mobile app or similar that had a large user base and successful, I believe I’d employ the following model:
Free for all users for a year
After a year the application would give the user 3 choices:
- Continue to use as free, but with advertising
- Continue to use as free, but open to sell their data to third-parties
- Charge an annual fee of 69p
I am very interested to see what people would choose. Personally I’d go for the micro-payment option (option 3), what would you go for?
