Accounts and server storage — data stays in your browser
Question research — requests queue as “pending setup” and never complete
Publishing to WordPress or any live site
Search Console, Bing or analytics data — indexing stays “unknown” until you verify it yourself
Email digests and reminders
Billing — nobody is charged
