Frequently asked questions
Does the trial require a credit card upfront?
Configurable per product. You can require a card (higher conversion, lower signup), or not (more signups, lower conversion). Most operators do both - free without card on a limited tier, paid trial with card on the full tier.
What stops abuse from disposable email?
Built-in fraud guards: one trial per email domain, per IP, per credit card BIN, and optional integration with disposable-email-list APIs.
