Why Was I Charged $4.99 During the Free Trial?

When you sign up for the ChatOdyssey free trial, we perform a temporary authorization on your card—usually for the same amount as the plan ($4.99).

This is not a charge.

It’s an authorization hold to confirm your payment method is valid. These holds are standard practice and help us:

  • Prevent fraud

  • Ensure that accounts are created with real, working payment details

  • Maintain a high-quality experience for all users

How long does the authorization stay?

Authorization holds typically disappear from your statement within 7 days, depending on your bank or card issuer. You will not be billed unless you choose to continue after the trial ends.

If you have any concerns feel free to contact our support.
