How Do You Balance Free and Paid Features in a Forum?
How Do You Balance Free and Paid Features in a Forum?
Paid features can boost revenue, but too many can harm engagement. How do you decide what remains free versus premium? Do you use trials, freemium models, or gated content to encourage upgrades while keeping the community active?
Re: How Do You Balance Free and Paid Features in a Forum?
A good balance means giving everyone enough free access to keep the community lively, while reserving advanced features for paid tiers. If core discussions stay open and upgrades genuinely add value instead of limiting people, members feel respected and more willing to support the platform.
