The challange

Planable needed to increase the conversion rate from free to paid. They knew their main metrics, but couldn’t go deeper and understand what might influence users to upgrade or not.

How InnerTrends helped

InnerTrends helped Planable to dive deep into data and meticulously analyze what happens between the signup and the upgrade moment. This deep dive uncovered a significant opportunity within the onboarding process:

"We found that not enough users signing up for Planable were actually getting to know it before making a decision of whether to move forward or not. We discovered that we no longer want to limit users signing up for Planable based on the time that they spent on the platform, but rather based on how much they used it."

The insights also allowed Planable to align its team around a shared understanding of the customer journey, strengthening confidence in their marketing and growth strategies.

Strategy Execution

In response to these findings, Planable introduced a free plan with no time restrictions. Instead of pushing users to upgrade within a set timeframe, they shifted their focus to ensuring users experienced the platform’s value. The upgrade decision would now be driven by engagement and usage rather than time spent on the platform.

The impact

As a result, Planable increased its onboarding rate by over 30%. Despite introducing a free plan with no time limit, this strategic shift led to a higher number of customers converting each month, demonstrating the power of aligning product experience with user needs.
