Key features of this approach, called product-led growth, or PLG, include free or very low-cost introductory pricing, with higher prices for more functionality (like what’s offered by Zoom) and overall ease of use. The authors discuss successful PLG strategies and PLG’s potential for both software and non technology firms.
