> I explicitly wrote "[same] limits as what these free databases offer". So there is no additional entitlement by taking payment. I honestly believe that's what _you_ would expect for your $2/month. And if everybody in the world was like you, it'd make sense for them to do it. But... You've met _people_, right? Enough of them are way too insane and over entitled, and ruin it for everybody else. And I think you misunderstand the credit card fraud risk here. It's not "abusive users" trying to buy your service at $5 or $2. It's _because_ the monthly price is so low that you become a fraud target for proper who were never interested un becoming a user. Criminals intentionally find and use low value purchase options with real time card processing, so they can "test" card details they have are valid right before making a big purchase if the small one succeeds. I've been on both ends of that, I've seen purchase of a dollar or two on one of my cards right before an attempt to buy a thousand bucks worth of electronics (which my Visa issuer blocked). I've also been involved in a website that mostly dealt in 50+ dollar purchases that without thinking/knowing added a $1.95 novelty sticker pack - and a few weeks later had several hundred purchases using stolen credit cards overnight. It happens.
