Free credits are good at getting people curious.
Purchased credits are where the story gets more honest.
I was thinking about this while looking at OpenGradient Chat, because free usage can make any product look active for a short time. People test it, click around, try a few prompts and see what the hype is about.
That is discovery.
Useful, but not enough.
The more interesting question starts after the free balance runs low.
Does the user leave, or do they decide the product solved something real enough to pay for the next request?
That is why credits inside chat.opengradient.ai are more than a payment detail to me. They turn usage into a product signal.
If someone buys credits to keep using private chat, file analysis, web research, model switching or Image Studio, that says something different from a one-time visit.
It means the workflow had value beyond the campaign.
@OpenGradient also gets a cleaner funnel because users can enter with low friction, understand the product first, and only later convert into paid activity.
For $OPG , I would not watch free users alone.
I would watch the gap between curiosity and repeat paid usage.
That gap tells you whether OpenGradient Chat is just attracting attention or whether people are starting to treat it as part of their actual work.
Free credits can bring users in.
Purchased credits reveal whether they found a reason to stay.
