The Missing Payment Option in Freemium

Why?

Get income from users that currently don’t pay but want to.

How?

Then there is the user that needs more functionality and is willing to pay for that. But there is a third kind of user, the one who does not need any extra functionality but is so satisfied with the free version that he would gladly pay for it, even if just to show his appreciation and support. Offer a low-cost payment option for this – the third type of – user.
