Please explain how i can give 1 time free trial subscription - globally popular for all subscription based models.

you can't sign up to a free trial on netflix / amazon / 98% other services without adding your bank details etc for them to take a payment for when the trial ends, it is down to the user to cancel before the trial ends and they are charged, same goes as that really, offer a free trial for x days but they need to add their details etc and after the free trial they will automatically be charged the monthly charge etc they can cancel anytime by going into their purchases and clicking to not renew

Have you ever used ipb subscription...?

FYI. With 0 payment now, and x amount on renewal it wont ask for credit card now.

Anyways that's not the concern here, you mixing two different things here.

I still say the same that IPB should have an option to create a free trial that ends at x days and not like present setup.

they need to add some details though like name address etc and will get a invoice

why offer a free trail and not want them to pay to keep it? or give them a easier way to keep their upgrade

Isn't that quite illogical.....?

We have a need for a name and email free trial, because the simpler the signup, the more likely user will sign up to try the service. The funnel is short and they are more likely to try the service if they do not have to enter a credit card and other information.

We give them a "trial" set of features because if they had full access with ability to cancel, people would use the service to get some quick information they want/need, then cancel the service. With a "trial" they can get try the service, but to really get the full abilities, they have to pay for the annual service. Again, the free "trial" is to get them in the funnel, to quickly sign up, and to feel like they can try without getting out a credit card, entering a bunch of info, etc.

@gauravk  We too think there should be a trial feature because we can capture the user quickly then get them to subscribe once they see the benefits.

Review this great thread to get some ideas:
