Free trials for subscriptions

Free trials are a great way to get your users to their "a-ha!" moment and increase conversions, and Clerk Billing makes them easy to setup and use.

Straightforward Configuration

Enable free trials for any plan in the Clerk Dashboard⁠ and choose the duration of the trial. Or you can roll out the same free trials configuration for many plans at once.

Existing users will see no change to their subscriptions, but any new signups will get your configured free trial before their card is charged. Change your configuration at any time, and it will take effect for any new signups after that point.

Easy to Manage

You can cancel your users' free trials at any point from the Clerk Dashboard⁠, or opt to have their subscription end when the free trial ends. You can also extend the free trial of any user at any time during their trial.

Best Practices Built-In

Free trials automatically use industry best practices without any configuration. Users will be required to enter a credit card before starting their trial, mitigating abuse and ensuring when their trial ends they transition smoothly to a paid subscription. And users that have already paid you or already had a free trial are ineligible to start a new one.
