We are not charging for every item. Signing up for a Scard Profile is free, as is using the basic version of the Scard Profile.
When you want to utilize the Pro version, you will need to pay monthly or yearly with a discount because it includes many features, information, and up-to-date updates. By the way, if you notice, we give out 30 days free trial of the Pro version when you sign up.
We charge reasonably since initial startup costs, daily operating and managing expenses, and future upgrade costs to consider.
We don't want to debate other companies' strategies for operation, but you should review the terms of use, privacy policy, and their company attics to decide if is worth using it.
