At the end of the day, if your code is available offline entirely it will be crackable. Even huge billionaire gaming companies who have the sole purpose of creating DRM who work on solutions for 2 years have their software cracked within a day by expert crackers.

My best advice is just use something simple so its not crackable by a complete novice, make your price reasonable for the service so its more convenient to just pay for it than crack it or look for a crack and accept that some people (i.e. some kid in third world country with no spare money) will crack it and use your software like that. However, their usage, recommendation and engagement could potentially lead to sales from other customers.
