Users can see the potential of certain features, and if they’re interested, they can pay more to have them unlocked.

We need to track who comes to our site, who drops out at particular steps of the acquisition process and why, and what causes a company to purchase Productboard but leave after a certain period of time. This is very important data that will help us improve the
