+To use Plausible Analytics, you need to [register an account](https://plausible.io/register). To explore the product, we offer you a free 30-day trial. No credit card is required to sign up for the trial, so there are no automatic charges when the trial ends. See [how the free trial works](trial.md) for details.
 
 You can test all the different features and use Plausible on multiple sites during the trial. Plausible is so lightweight that you can run it alongside Google Analytics without any negative impact on your site's performance.

+title: How the free trial works
+description: "How the Plausible Analytics 30-day free trial works. No credit card required, no automatic charges when the trial ends and you can delete your account at any time."
+---
+
+Every Plausible account starts with a free 30-day trial. During the trial you have access to all Business plan features and limits, so you can explore the full product before choosing a plan.
+
+## No credit card, no automatic charges
+
+We don't ask for a credit card when you [register](register-account.md). There's no payment method on file, so we can't charge you. Your trial never converts into a paid subscription automatically.
+
+This also means there's nothing to cancel. If you don't want to continue after the trial, you don't need to do anything.
+
+## What happens when the trial ends
+
+If you haven't subscribed by the end of the trial, your dashboard is locked and we stop counting your stats. You can still log in to your account.
+
+[Upgrade to a paid subscription](trial-to-paid.md) to unlock your dashboard. All stats collected during your trial are kept. Nothing is reset when you upgrade.
+
+## Delete your account at any time
+
+You can [delete your account](delete-account.md) with a few clicks at any point, during or after the trial. Go to **Account Settings**, scroll to the **Danger zone** section and click **Delete Account**. This removes all your sites and collected stats.
