Who wants to "open the kimono" a little on their SaaS experience? :) For the good of all, naturally.
I'm looking for info on people's experiences of free:paid account ratios. Not just traffic:signup of paid accounts rates, but over time (after signups).
Give to get: Freckle (http://letsfreckle.com) has a fairly typical conversion rate for signup - between 1 and 4%, on any given day, heavily dependent on the source/type of traffic. Overall, 7.8% of all our accounts are paid accounts.
I'd also love any posts, essays, etc., that you know that discuss this rate. I haven't had much luck googling.
