Baremetrics public dashboard demo as trust page
Use your own live product data as the demo when trust and immediacy matter more than a sanitized sample account.
Why this can grow a startup
A fake demo often proves the UI, not the outcome. Baremetrics made its own dashboard public because it needed a live demo of what the product could do. That decision opened conversations and became a direct conversion asset: visitors to the demo were 5.5 times more likely to become customers. The move worked because the product category was metrics. Showing the company’s own numbers made the promise tangible and a bit vulnerable. For analytics, AI ops, finance, and creator tools, a real demo can answer the buyer’s hidden question: does the founder trust this enough to use it in public.
