There's no mention that it's just ~10 words you are getting from signing up, once you are done with that you are prompted to upgrade ($18 for the next 370 sounds). Apart from that there were also a bunch of duplicates in the free ~10 words you see after signing up. ("kalte" was probably asked 4 times)

I don't know if it's OP's site but I'd include a demo that is actually usable without signing up and make it obvious that it's not "free".

Thanks! The upgrade is mentioned on the homepage, but we should probably offer unlimited usage until you've used it a lot more.

Sorry about the duplicate "kalte". It uses basic spaced repetition and can be sensitive if the first answers are incorrect.

Thanks for the quick reply, as a native speaker I'm probably not your target audience but I'd just include a /pricing section to make that clear. That's usually the first thing I check if there's a new service and there's no mention of "pricing", "payment" on the homepage. Took me a while to spot it in the "Comprehensive" section.
