Those users willing to register 10 accounts don't convert to paid accounts much

Well, there are instances in our case who are paid users now.

We are operating the service under 50% margin after op cost - our closest competitor in price, charges 2-5x to ours.

I'm afraid (at least at this point of time) to put the CC requirement upfront. I may eventually go for it, if we bleed more.

Thanks for sharing your experience
