The PLG model is about showing users what your product can do for them. 

Our goal was for our product to be an MVP, and in doing so, it was essential to have a tight feedback loop between our users and the product. Basically, we needed as many people to use the app to gathe...

We discovered from looking at the organic ranking that the following factors came into play:

• Number of Customer Reviews
• Overall Rating
• Price
• Feature Set

We found the majority of the apps on the Shopify App store are product-led; however, nobody was giving users free access to the entire product before they bought it.

• What if our product is not an MVP?
• What if it has limitations?
• What if it has shortcomings other apps in the market ...

The biggest challenge might be that users don’t value the product if they don’t pay for it. We know users typically always value a product they have a stake in. If it’s free, it’s easy to fall into that pile of tools that are left behind and forgotten.
