🎟 Another booking app shifts to credit system
Letswork have shared that they’re switching to a credit-based system instead of charging per Expand 👇 booking. I’ve been watching this trend for a while and always gathering feedback on how well/badly the unit economics around credits convert into revenue for workspace providers. If you participate on a credit-based platform, I’d love to hear your thoughts around what you like/dislike about it.
