2 reasons why I am not offering a free plan:

1: I want to see if actually anyone wants to pay for the product. 2: There is hardly anything in the app which I can give for free.

I said a free "trial".

at some point whether it's time or money you'll need to invest in marketing. by offering a free "trial" people can see if it's even worth their time.

people have a big resistance to coughing up a credit card with out some kind of relationship at first.

It's like going on a date and starting it out with "would you like to have sex". it's rarely works. I spent a lot of time on conversion funnels lately and you have to ease into sales.

I agree a straight up freemium plan is a risky bet.
