Operational limitsAudienceful Gotchas & Operational Limits
These are documented constraints or practical friction points that may matter before you adopt the product.
The vendor states that it has no free trial for paid plans; the free tier is a separate plan.
Teams that need to test paid-plan capabilities before subscribing should account for the vendor's stated 14-day refund policy and its terms.
Evidence source ↗Stored total contacts, rather than only active contacts, determine the pricing tier; the help page says exceeding a tier can automatically upgrade a plan.
Inactive or archived records may affect subscription cost, so list hygiene and tier thresholds matter to budgeting.
Evidence source ↗The API documentation says workspace API keys should only be used from a backend service, not exposed in frontend or mobile clients.
Custom integrations require a server-side component to protect credentials.
