We think this is the most sustainable option because there is a cost to providing a quality service. We take a small loss on every user who cancels their free trial - more than a typical SaaS because AI models are expensive to serve.

Crossing your fingers that the user forgets to cancel is never "sustainable", it's predatory.

Maybe a shorter trial would work?

Personally I only need about 30 minutes with a code autocompletion LLM to see if it will do what I want without pissing me off (and maybe even making me smile!)

How about taking the CC but not subscribing the user. As in the CC is used only to verify the user but I have to subscribe once I consume my free credits (even though the CC is on file).

I'm VERY interested in using your service and would be happy to pay if it's good.

I'm never going to try if you ask for my CC up front though. Sorry.
