The “personal” plan is free. I’m always cautious with free things that use my personal data - if you're not paying for the product, you are the product.

How are they able to keep this free?

Like any credit card company, they charge fees to the vendor. Something like 1.5%+$0.30 of every transaction. It even says on their website,

I don’t use it for everything. Only things I want to place a limit on. The data can’t be worth very much.
