Overview
Overview Card verification protects Knotie AI Pro from automated bots and fraudulent signups. As a bootstrapped SaaS without venture capital backing, we keep our pricing affordable by carefully managing costs. However, bot activity and fake accounts generate real expenses—from email delivery and phone number provisioning to server resources. By requiring card verification, we can prevent abuse while still maintaining our Free Forever plan for genuine users.What happens during verification
- You’ll be asked to add a payment method.
- A small verification charge may appear temporarily.
- The charge is typically reversed automatically (timing depends on your bank).
Why we do this
- Reduce automated abuse and spam accounts
- Protect platform reliability for real users
- Keep the Free Forever plan sustainable
