Free trial

A new company can start with a free trial: 500 credits ($5) for 14 days, whichever ends first. No card is needed. Trials started earlier keep their 1,000 credits.

What's included

The trial includes the full console: connect GitHub, map your services, publish a release policy, run tests and post code reviews. Every member of the company shares the same trial.

The trial starts when you create the company from a free trial link, or when you choose Start free trial during setup.

How credits are used

Each test scenario that reaches a result uses 1.5 credits, so the trial covers about 330 of them. A scenario with no result uses nothing. A scenario that runs on your company's own AI key uses 0.6 credits; see Use your own AI key. Code reviews and fixes don't use credits; you can start them while your trial has credits left.

The credits button in the top bar carries the trial. On wide screens it reads Free trial, the days left and the credits left, for example "Free trial · 14 days left · 497 credits", with a small bar of what is left. On a phone it shows a coins icon, with a yellow dot once the trial is ending or has ended. Days count in your time zone, and on the last day it says Ends today. From 3 days left, or under 20% of its credits, it turns yellow, and on wide screens company admins also see Choose a plan beside it.

Select it to see about how many test runs your credits cover, how much of the trial is used, and when the trial ends. Credits held for tests still running are listed apart from what is left, and wide screens show them in the button too, for example "(4.5 held)". A hold is not a charge: only the tests that reach a result are charged. It turns yellow when fewer than 10 test runs or 20% of the trial's credits are left, and red once a test run no longer fits. If credits can't be read, it shows a dash instead of a number, with Retry. When credits first run low or run out, people who can start runs or manage billing see a banner at the top of the console once; dismiss it and it stays away until things get worse or a new period or trial begins.

In Billing, trial credits count under Free credits left and are listed as Trial credits added.

When the trial ends

The trial ends after 14 days or when its credits are used. The credits button then says Your free trial has ended, in yellow.

• Your data stays: your map, policies, checks, runs and reviews remain readable.
• New test runs, code reviews and fixes need a plan.
• Nothing is charged and nothing is deleted.

Company admins choose a plan with Choose a plan, which opens Pricing. Other members see Ask your admin to choose a plan. If you choose a plan during the trial, the trial ends and any trial credits left stay usable until the 14 days are up.

Trial emails

The admin who started the trial gets an email when it starts, when 4 days are left, when 80% of its credits are used, and when it ends. Once the company has a plan, the rest aren't sent. Turning off email for "Payment failed (admins)" stops all but the first.

One trial per person and per GitHub account

Each email address gets one free trial, and so does each GitHub account you sign in with. If yours already had one, setup says so and shows the plans instead. If Zof invited your email with credits, those credits are your trial; see Invitation credits.

Each GitHub organization or personal account also gets one trial. When you connect GitHub, Zof checks whether another company's trial already used that account:

• GitHub still connects as usual. Only the trial changes.
• The trial ends at once and its credits left are removed. Credits and payments in Billing lists the removal as Credits expired.
• The GitHub connection and Billing say This GitHub account already had a free trial. Admins are asked to choose a plan to keep testing, with Choose a plan; other members see Ask your admin to choose a plan.
• No "trial has ended" email is sent.
• A company that already has a plan isn't affected.
