They will Charge you $228 Without Warning BUT they Refund
UPDATE: They have made a full refund I signed up for OptinMonster under what I believed was a free trial. My account even displayed an "Upgrade to Pro" banner, confirming that I was NOT on a paid plan. Suddenly, I found a $228 charge on my credit card—without warning, without consent, and without any option to prevent it. It turns out OptinMonster automatically upgrades your plan if you exceed a certain number of page visits, without asking if you agree to the charge. They don’t notify you, they don’t ask for confirmation—they just take your money. This practice is not only deceptive but outright unethical. To make matters worse: You can’t remove your credit card details from their system. They make canceling difficult and try to trap you into staying. Their support is unhelpful, and refunds are nearly impossible to get. This is nothing short of a scam disguised as a marketing tool. No reputable company should charge users hundreds of dollars without consent. I strongly advise everyone to stay away from this predatory service.
