What does your free tier need to look like?

About this calculator

Freemium is a bet that a small share of free users converts into enough paid revenue to carry everyone else. This model makes the bet explicit: free users convert at your rate into paid subscribers, subscribers pay the monthly price, churn takes its cut - and every free user quietly costs you hosting and support. Net MRR is what survives after the free tier's bill is paid. The break-even conversion rate is the line in the sand: the hosting cost per free user divided by the paid price. Below it, every new free signup makes you poorer. Pull the levers to see how the economics shift with a bigger free base, a higher price, cheaper infrastructure, or better conversion. Then save the model with your own numbers to test where the free tier's limits should sit, stress-test scenarios, and share the case with your team.
