SaaS Trials Auto-Charge Users Who Never Activated or Used the Product
Users who start free trials to evaluate a product but never actually use it still get charged at trial end, with no zero-usage detection or automatic refund policy. The burden falls entirely on users to cancel before the deadline, even when they have no usage history. Getting refunds requires escalation through support with uncertain outcomes.
