I have seen a bunch of apps nowadays ask for an expensive price and then when people say no they keep bugging them with a discount. Or they show a free trial dialog.
That discount modal shows up all the time. It gets to the point where you can barely use the app without seeing it.
Also pinged on the main page as Your Gift. I think that cheapens the product.
I rather build a stellar product that goes beyond the competition so that people will want to pay the full price. I’m super creative so I have a ton of ideas. And So far it’s working.
I mean it’s crazy. Why pay the full price if two minutes later, you’re going to get an offer giving you 50% off? Sometimes they go as far as 90% off.
Why not go with building a super cool product that people actually want to pay for.
Though seems like the free trial modal after showing the crazy expensive price works but it’s super deceiving to users. I find that people expect the free trial to be free and get shocked a week later when they have to pay $90 – which most people can’t afford. Some of these people are have dementia (true story) so they fall for this.
