What can I do to get users to upgrade plans?
Give better features & benefits

Connect with user’s emotions
You can always use stories to connect with people. For example, you can create a video advertisement showing the pain points of their problems that your SaaS solves.
Show how your SaaS will make their lives easier, better, or make more money.
Try using testimonials from other customers.
Create upgrade deals
There are many upgrade deals you can offer:
- 6 months at 20% off
- Invite a friend, and both of you get 30% of for 3 months
- Give them a timeframe to grab the deal. examples – 24 hours left, summer sale, Black Friday deal
How to prevent users from downgrading plans
It’s going to be nearly impossible to stop everyone from downgrading. You will always have a select few who just can’t do it anymore or cannot afford it.
The best thing you can do is give them as much value as possible. Show them why they need to stay on the plan. Different methods:
- Use stories that ring with their emotions
- Make sure that you make it clear how to use the SaaS and the features. Write tutorials and film video walkthroughs.
