Yes exactly - churn rates too high, free versions not converting to paid, et al. And for companies like KISSmetrics and Dropbox, those free customers come with an infrastructure cost that goes up fairly linearly with the number of customers you add. Tough going if you can't convert from free to paid. And then you add high monthly churn rates and, ugh, you're in a world of hurt.
