Your first plan starts with a free 7-day trial. Checkout asks for a card. There is no free tier without a card.
  • Stop, resume and fork do not reset the 25 hours.
  • A resume gives the sandbox a new auto-stop window of 2 hours or less.
  • The trial limits stay until the first payment.
  • A change to another plan during the trial ends the trial. Stripe charges the new plan at once.
  • boat limits shows the trial limits and the hours that you have left.

​
Who gets a trial

  • A person gets one trial. An account that subscribed before restarts the plan with no trial.
  • Organizations get no trial. An organization plan is paid from the first day.
  • Boat can refuse a trial to an identity that looks like a repeat sign-up. The error is trial_blocked. If this is wrong, contact support.

​
End the trial early

Pay now to lift every trial limit at once:
  1. Open Dashboard > Billing.
  2. Click Upgrade now.
Stripe charges the plan price at once. The 7-day period then ends, and the first month starts that day. Are you a member of an organization that pays? Then switch to it with boat org switch <org>. Its sandboxes do not use your trial limits.

​
Cancel the trial

After a cancel, Upgrade now no longer works. To keep using Boat, subscribe again from the Billing tab. You get no second trial.

​
Errors you can get during the trial

For every limit and error after the trial, read Limits and errors.
