Trial Conversion Rate
Trial conversion rate is the percentage of trial users or visitors who convert to paying customers or full members. For businesses with free trial or intro offer models, it's the most important metric in the acquisition funnel.
How to Calculate
Trial Conversion Rate = (Trials Converted to Paid ÷ Total Trials Started) × 100
Industry Benchmarks
- Gyms/Fitness: 30-50% trial to member conversion
- Salons/Spas: 40-60% first visit to repeat client
- SaaS: 15-25% free trial to paid
How to Improve Trial Conversion
- Follow up within minutes of trial sign-up
- Create a structured trial experience (not just "come whenever")
- Send a nurture sequence throughout the trial period
- Make the conversion offer before the trial ends, not after
- Address objections proactively with social proof
- Use AI to identify and prioritize high-intent trial users
