"Freemium vs. free trials for B2B SaaS—what’s your playbook? (Building an AI tool, need your take)"

Hey devs building B2B SaaS—quick question as I tweak my AI outfit transformation tool’s onboarding:​
When it comes to freemium/free trials, what’s your go-to strategy?​
1.Free credits (letting users test real usage, no countdown)?​
2.Time limits (e.g., 14 days of full access to hook them fast)?​
3.Feature-gated tiers (core tools free, advanced bits locked)?​
4.And the juicy part: What tradeoffs have you hit? Did time limits feel pushy? Free credits get abused? Feature gates confuse users?​
For context—my tool lives or dies by that "wow" moment when users see their first transformation. Trying to balance generosity (so they get the value) with protecting the product.​
Curious to steal your hard-earned wisdom.
