The trial gives your organization full access for a limited time so you can author a brand and serve it to AI tools before you choose a plan.

## How the trial works

- **App-granted.** The trial is granted through a connected app. You do not request it separately.
- **No card required.** You can start without entering payment details.
- **14 days.** The trial lasts 14 days.
- **Starts on first connection.** The clock starts when you first connect an app, not when you sign up.

## What happens when it ends

When the 14 days are up, your organization drops to [Starter](/docs/billing/plans). Anything gated to a higher plan becomes unavailable until you upgrade. Nothing is deleted: your first brand and project keep working, and any brands, projects, or members beyond Starter's limits become read-only until you upgrade. See [When you hold more than your plan covers](/docs/billing/plans#when-you-hold-more-than-your-plan-covers).

## The shadcncraft bundle

The trial and the [shadcncraft Pro](/docs/billing/shadcncraft-pro) bundle are separate things. Connecting a shadcncraft license is coming, and when it lands it will work on any plan, trial included. Nothing about the trial depends on it.
