While extended trial periods and early adopter discounts seem beneficial at first glance, they can inadvertently set unrealistic pricing expectations and potentially devalue the product in the long run.

I noticed some companies price their Dev Mode by analyzing competitors' pricing strategies for similar offerings. It ensures they stay competitive and fair.
@highestop Certainly, basing Dev Mode pricing on competitors’ strategies helps companies maintain competitiveness and fairness in the market, showing a strategic approach to pricing.
Starting with a basic free Dev Mode and offering paid upgrades for advanced features seems to be a popular strategy. It allows users to test before making financial commitments.
@fankaidev Absolutely, starting with a free Dev Mode and providing paid upgrades is a savvy approach, offering users a risk-free way to experience before committing financially. Great strategy!
