my 2 cents:
1. Give people a free demo so they can get their data into the system.
2. After the trial period, let them export the data out if they want (don't make the credit card request seem like a ransom request).

Personally, I’d expect to lose access to data if I stopped paying for it. As a good practice, the company could make it read only for some time before archiving it (what happens if I sign up again!).
Archival storage is so cheap these days that it doesn’t make sense to delete customer data unless they ask, or you are in B2B.
However you are too fast to make me enter my credit card info. It's 2022, can't I at least play with the app to see if it's what I want? Demo for a day? Create just one page of notes?
As it stands the landing page was not enough to get me over the hump to put in my credit card info. I somehow can't get back to the landing page now that I started the signup flow.
