Stricter free user limits

goal

the goals for this are obviously to get more ppl to upgrade. But also do it in a way that feels natural and incentivizes paying for teams. Currently, there is no limit for free users to add cards in a space created by a paid user. There’s a sense that this removes almost all incentives for a team to pay for each user, when instead they could keep having one person make all the spaces and invite free collaborators in when needed.

discussion: Discord

plan

  • keep the current 100 card limit
  • add a 3 new space limit (which the pre-created inbox and hello space won’t count towards)
  • remove the exception that allows free users to created unlimited cards on paid user spaces

in the linked discussion, features based paywalls were also suggested, but most of these would likely discourage or prevent ppl from learning about the coolest features. privacy will also not be a paywall feature for the same reason that private spaces is the default, privacy is for everyone.

What about providing some number of free cards

Just an idea (good or bad?): What about giving paying users something like 500 cards that free users could use on their shared spaces (i.e. spaces shared by the paying user).

This is a relevant point to me. When I was heavily using Kinopio with my team, if free users couldn’t create unlimited cards in my spaces, I would have wanted a mechanism to enable that, and I probably would have considered paying for it. I know this is sort of like Teams, but I would have wanted to own and take care of everything.

I don’t think it would have worked if I asked my team members to upgrade. That would have been a no-go and we probably would have used it until we hit a limit and then abandon the tool.

yup that’s precisely the thinking behind the teams product :slight_smile:

Dumb question,
if I switch between Teams and my personal “team”,
do I only see the spaces that belong to that Team?

as a user you see all the spaces you have access to. so that’s both your personal and team spaces.
