# Plans and trials

How trials end, what plans include, and how to change plans.

## In brief

- **Trial end:** Enforced automatically
- **Changes:** Self-service

New accounts begin on a trial with full access. Trial expiry is enforced by the platform on a schedule — when your trial ends, you'll be prompted to pick a plan before continuing.

## Choosing and changing plans

Plans differ by allowances — applications, storage, AI budget, team size. Upgrades apply immediately; downgrades apply at the next billing cycle so you never lose paid time.

## Where payment happens

Payments are processed by Stripe. Your card details are entered on and stored by Stripe — the platform never sees or stores your card number.
