Over 60% of Free Trial Users Will Pay for Service: Vimeo Report

For services considering offering a free trial, Vimeo says having an app is helpful. Potential customers are 33 percent more likely to sign up for a free trial through an app than through a website. Some of its OTT customers have achieved conversion rates of 72 percent through app sign-ups.

Citing data from Parks Associates, Vimeo notes that over a quarter of all broadband-equipped households in the U.S. signed up for at least one OTT service free trial in 2017. “Free OTT trials are effective in converting a sizable portion of trial users into subscribers,” says Glenn Hower, a senior market research analyst for Parks.
