Why free-tier abuse prevention
is mission-critical for SaaS
Free-tier abuse is more than an annoyance - it's a hidden tax on growth. In our experience, unmitigated abuse can consume 10-25% of free-tier capacity and distort analytics, causing slower performance for real customers and masking true conversion signals.
*Estimates shown are typical ranges based on aggregated customer data and industry benchmarks.
