Ask HN: What are the benefits of putting a beta sign close to the logo? 1 points by lgmspb 12y ago ↗ HN We are planning to release our first public version soon, but are worried that a beta sign close to the logo may cost us some users.
[–] BtM909 12y ago ↗ As always, I would suggest A/B testing!I would guess that a beta logo could potentially hurt if you only have a paid subscription. If you allow free access, it basically tells users that not everything might be in place (so that would actually help you keep users). [–] lgmspb 12y ago ↗ Thanks, we are planning to have a free version with some limitations but also some paid plans, but your point is clear.
