PQL stands for Product-qualified lead, a marketing & advertising abbreviation.

Prospect who has experienced value in a product through a free trial or freemium plan, shown by usage signals such as inviting teammates or hitting plan limits, making them likely to pay.

Example: Teams that create three projects in the first week become PQLs and get a sales email.

Usage notes

PQLs are central to product-led growth, where usage data rather than content downloads identifies buyers. They typically convert at higher rates than MQLs.
