scriptman on June 7, 2015 | parent | context | favorite | on: How I killed app sales by going freemium

Sorry, I have to disagree.

If you did this, why would you even have the free version? The whole point of the free portion is to act as feeder for the paid version. If the branding is completely separate then how are the users going to know they can have the same level of confidence in the paid version as what they do in the free version? May as well not have the free version at all.

You are going to tell them. Kind of like this: "Need more space? Try our paidapp."
