Hi All, 

 

I’m looking to gather insight from anyone who has experience transitioning a paid subscription LMS model to a free offering for all customers.

 

We’re exploring what this shift might look like and would love to learn from others who’ve been through it. Specifically, I’m interested in:

  • Key considerations before making the change

  • Operational or technical impacts you didn’t anticipate

  • Pricing or packaging ripple effects

  • Customer communication strategies

  • Adoption trends after removing the paywall

  • Things you wish you had known beforehand

 

If you’ve led (or been part of) a similar transition, what worked well? What would you do differently? Were there unintended consequences — positive or negative?
 

Appreciate any feedback, guidance, tips, or lessons learned you’re willing to share. Thanks in advance!

Happy Learning! =)

Hi ​@chetler-findlay

This sounds like a really exciting initiative. As we close down existing Community this week, I want to ensure we start this conversation through success@thoughtindustries.com so I will reach out to you there. 
 

Looking forward to connecting with you soon,

Jeanne from your Success Team
