Hi @wearecda 👋
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. I completely understand that requiring a credit card for a free plan can feel like a hurdle when you’re just looking to test the waters.
We ask for this upfront to ensure a smooth transition for users who choose to scale, but we want you to have total peace of mind. Our free plan includes 500 campaign impressions with no expiration date, and you have full control over your billing settings. You can actually toggle off auto-upgrades immediately within your account preferences here: https://optinmonster.com/docs/pageview-and-upgrade-preferences/
We also back every account with a 14-day unconditional money-back guarantee. If OptinMonster doesn’t feel like the right fit, we’ll make the refund process completely hassle-free.
We’d love the chance to show you what our tools can do for your conversions. If there’s anything else we can do to help you feel more comfortable getting started, please let us know!
