Short answer: test it with $20–50/day if you sell something with a clear intent match, because self-serve ChatGPT Ads now has no minimum spend.
Short answer: pick a defensible niche, publish real hands-on testing instead of thin roundups, and disclose AI involvement — or risk fines up to $53,088.
Freemium converts fewer signups at a higher rate than a free trial. Per 1,000 visitors, though, freemium still nets more paying customers in 2026 benchmarks.
Short answer: if you can't reach 1,000 conversions per variant in a few weeks, skip classic A/B testing and run sequential or qualitative tests instead.
