Please don't let users "try" your product only to immediately hit a signup/signin wall. It instantly undermines whatever trust the demo may have established.
More on this, we're still experimenting between a hard vs. soft paywall. Regardless, if you sign up it should be easy enough to play around with it for a while on the free tier. We promise that we don't send spam/marketing emails.
It’s not about what you offer on the free tier. It’s about whether what you say matches what you do.
If your page asks people to try the product, let them try it. Asking them to enter something and click “Try,” only to immediately hit a signup wall, is frustrating and makes them feel tricked.
