You get 7 days free on your first site, on either plan, and billing starts when the trial ends or when you connect your own domain, whichever comes first.
How the trial works:
Build your site in the wizard (under 30 minutes), pick Plot Core or Plot Managed, and use the full platform. No features are held back during the trial.
Card details are taken at the start.
Cancel at any time during the 7 days and you pay nothing.
Your site runs on a Plot subdomain, so your existing website is unaffected.
When billing starts:
When the 7 days are up, or
When you connect your own domain, if that is sooner.
On Managed only, a completed design kick-off call also ends the trial early. Booking the call on its own does not.
Other things people ask:
Do I get a trial on every site? No. The trial is on your first site only. Sites you add later are billed from day one.
Can I try Managed and change my mind? Yes. You can move from Managed to Core during an active trial and keep your original trial end date.
Is there a free plan or a money-back guarantee instead? No. The trial is how you try Plot before paying.
Do I need a demo first? No. You start self-serve and no call is required.
Can I extend the trial? We offer trial extensions at our discretion. Contact us to talk it through.
Will I be told before I am charged? Yes. We tell you your trial end date and your first charge date.
How do I cancel? There is a cancel button in the Plan options in your admin.
What happens to my site if I cancel or my trial lapses? You lose access to the site and its content. Copy out anything you want to keep by hand before then, or ask us to do an export for you, which is a paid service (the price is in How much is Plot?). A site can be recovered for 90 days by logging in and adding payment against it.
Prices are in how much is Plot, and the steps to sign up are in how do I get started.
