What are some techniques SaaS companies use to combat trial abuse / people trialling multiple times? My advice: Just let it go. At least for now, and probably a very long time. A lot of things will drive you a bit nuts when you are small: Folks that do repeat free trials. Folks that share accounts. Early customers that got “too good of a deal”. Customers that use a cheaper edition they aren’t entitled to.

In other words, visitors form an opinion about website credibility based on its aesthetic. But, all this is in vain if your design is not aligned with users’ needs.
