Free Trial
How the Simple Time 14-day free trial works and what happens when it ends.
Free Trial
Every new Simple Time account starts with a 14-day free trial. No credit card is required to sign up.
What You Get During the Trial
During your trial you have full access to all Professional plan features, including:
- Manager role and time entry approvals
- Material tracking
- Advanced reports
- Unlimited photo uploads
- Up to 50 team members
This lets you explore everything Simple Time has to offer before committing to a plan.
Trial Timeline
Days 1 -- 14: Full Access
Use all Professional features with no restrictions. A banner in the app shows how many trial days you have remaining.
Days 15 -- 17: Grace Period
If you have not subscribed by the end of your trial, there is a short grace period. During this time you can still use the app, but you will see prominent reminders to subscribe.
After Grace Period: Read-Only Mode
If no subscription is activated, your account enters read-only mode:
- You can still sign in and view all your data — work orders, timesheets, clients, reports, and everything else.
- You cannot create or edit anything.
- Your data is not deleted. It remains exactly as you left it.
You can exit read-only mode at any time by subscribing to a plan. All your data will be right where you left it.
Choosing a Plan During Your Trial
You can select your intended plan (Starter or Professional) at any time during the trial from Settings > Subscription. This does not require payment — it lets you preview which features will be available after the trial ends.
See Plans & Pricing to compare what each plan includes.
Subscribing Before the Trial Ends
You can subscribe at any time during your trial:
- Go to Settings > Subscription.
- Choose your plan and billing cycle.
- Complete checkout.
Your subscription begins immediately. You will not be charged separately for the remaining trial days.
