# Free Plan

If you have a Discord server with a low to medium incoming user traffic, we generally recommend the <mark style="color:green;">Free Plan</mark> of our app as it already contains the main important features that most of our clients utilize.

By default, the app runs on the free plan and is upgrade-able through our [Patreon](https://www.patreon.com/AuthenticateMe).

<mark style="color:red;">However</mark>, the free version comes with a trade-off with your users being served with advertisements. This plan does utilize some services that we pay a premium on, and displaying third-party advertising materials does give us some revenue back to cover our costs of operation.

### ❗Important Note

It is important to emphasize that **our verification app does not collect debit or credit card / banking  / cryptocurrency information** as outlined in the page here to our users who are verifying.

To keep your users informed of this during the verification process, we have included a guide for you to link your users to read before they begin verifying. It is the most idiot-proof guide with illustrations and with visual cues on guiding the user to verify without any hitches.

For servers and public Discord communities that deal with a huge influx of users daily or during major events (i.e. streaming or giveaway events), or looking to switch from a different provider to us- we recommend the Premium Plan, details which are described in the next page.
