Choose the buying experience that matches the product, not the model that's fashionable.

Free plan: Useful when users can reach value independently and product-led adoption makes sense.

Free trial: Useful when customers can experience value quickly within a defined period.

Paid pilot: Useful when deployment requires configuration, integrations, stakeholder involvement or measurable business outcomes.

Ask:

How long does setup take?
How quickly can a buyer see value?

Does the product require expert assistance?
Who needs to approve the purchase?
What would make a pilot successful?

For example, a self-serve writing tool may work well with a free trial.

An AI system that integrates with a company's internal data and automates a critical workflow may need a structured, paid pilot.

Choose the model based on how customers experience value.

A free trial isn't automatically the best way to sell SaaS/AI.
