The free-trial checklist

Five things to check before you sign up.

01

Eligibility. Check whether the offer is for new subscribers, selected countries or a particular plan.

02

What is included. Trial access may differ from the feature list for the most expensive plan.

03

The first charge. Record the amount, currency and billing frequency that apply after the trial.

04

The cancellation deadline. Some providers require notice before the last day. Set a reminder earlier.

05

The billing channel. Know whether you signed up through the website, Apple or Google. Keep your confirmation email.
