More revenue without the trial, guest says; no numbers given

What they did
Claim had 34% trial start and 50-55% trial-to-paid, so they removed the trial, went paid-only, and started running experiments on the paid paywall. Prerequisites the guest gives: high user volume, strong trial start rate, very strong trial-to-paid, and a pressing problem users are motivated to solve (Claim users can win settlement money that covers the subscription).
What happened
Started getting more revenue without a trial (no figure).
