Original Summary

Preamble: there's no promotion here, not even a subtle one, and no request to test stuff. No AI was used to write this text. My question is mostly to folks who run a web property, particularly for a B2C audience. That said, it might apply to mobile apps, and perhaps it applies to B2B in some cases. I don't know: you tell me. I've been thinking of how cautious users can best "kick the tyres" in a web app, especially in examples of SaaS products often discussed here. Mostly it's screenshots or social media videos + voiceover illustrating a typical workflow. Alright, it is well understood that users have a complex psychological journey to put their payment card on record, even if they trust an established payment processor completely. Now, I think the trust problem is worse than that, and users struggle these days to supply their email address for a traditional site registration. (How much Google/Apple SSO users are in the same category is also open to commentary, given that they can register in a couple of clicks). I thus have a broad question. Would you, or do you, expose parts of your app to let a user try them out first? I will pick a random example of a calendar app (NB: I do not actually have a calendar app). Somewhere on the home page is a "Try me!" button or similar, with a nearby label of "No account required". The user clicks on this and perhaps has to complete a Google/Cloudflare captcha in order to filter out bots. The human then gets dropped into a demo account with lots of pre-created data. The UX is prominently marked with "sign up to keep your data" CTAs. If the user does not then the account is auto-marked for deletion. To some degree this is about engineering effort, and my ponderance is whether it is worth it. Has anyone here got any data to say that this helps in general, or has anyone found that it helped in their case? I think it is rare UX pattern, but it feels like "leaving the door open" is a much lower psychological commitment, and it allows the seller to show their wares to their fullest. One could also add a click-through help widget too. I vaguely recall Miro does something like this - one can click into a canvas invitation and collaborate on a design fairly fully, but with one or two workflows that require one's own registration. Send me your fulsome thoughts below! No generated answers please - I want to hear from humans. (Note: this is a manual repost from r/micro_saas/comments/1wrtwax/how_much_does_a_registration_wall_produce_an/ - where I've not received many replies. I tried to use the Reddit repost device, but it was not in the mood today).   submitted by   /u/halfercode [link]   [comments]
