Only a madman would start a 30-day trial without entering any financial information?

Signing up for a free trial requires some bit of commitment. A couple of sentences isn't enough for most people to commit to a new product.

If you think about the customer journey as Research-Evaluate-Purchase, the 30 day free trial is the Evaluate stage. There isn't enough information (or any specifics) on the landing page to do any meaningful amount of research.

Plus, then I have to give you fake name, fake email, fake number, etc... and it's like why bother... Moving on.
There is negative value in signing up for free trials for things I don't understand on the extreme off-chance I might find them useful.
It's still API data that may be sensitive.
