Bootstrapped companies w/ freemium pricing?

I'm looking for some examples of successful bootstrapped companies with freemium pricing.

I have Mailchimp, HotJar, and Zoho on my list so far.

    Automattic (WordPress), Mojang (Minecraft), Github (took money but not until becoming huge), Plenty of Fish (though it was completely ad supported until becoming one of the most trafficked sites on the web), and many others depending on how high your bar for "successful" is.

    We're fully bootstrapped and give our app away for free: https://app.getnewly.com/join

      I wouldn't consider Github boostrapped. Are you saying that they offered freemium before raising money?

        I'm not sure but archive.org might show that info. I just remember reading about it being Bootstrapped.
