How it works
We calculate a weighted score
Self-serve cancellation and a card-free trial are weighted highest since they most affect trust and conversion.

The top three failing checks are surfaced first, not a flat list of everything possible.

Frequently asked questions
Why is self-serve cancellation weighted so heavily?
Requiring users to contact support to cancel is a well-documented trust breaker that increases chargebacks and hurts word-of-mouth, even though it can temporarily reduce churn.
Do I need all five elements to launch?
No. This is a checklist to prioritize against, not a launch blocker. A higher score generally correlates with lower checkout abandonment, but context matters.
Why check for a card-free trial?
Requiring a card upfront can significantly reduce trial signups. It's only counted against you if you also offer a trial — cash-upfront models are scored separately.
