Interesting! I am trying to work out the price plan for my startup as well. Can I ask if you got people signing up for paid accounts directly or they did the free plans first and convert later?

Lots sign up for the paid accounts directly.
We have a standard 3-6% monthly conversion rate from free -> paid. But, if you look at it in detail, the numbers get more interesting:
About 17-25% of those each month have 5 or more time entries, which is our bar for an "active" account. (A low, sorta primitive bar, but still.)
Of those, 35-55% upgrade to paid :)
Thing is, unless you are in a very similar field with a similar interaction design quality / providing similar value, to people who "get" value for money, my experience on these points probably won't help you.
That's why our sign up page de-emphasizes the free plan regardless, it's just an easier route :)
