Common questions.
The trial is auto-granted on sign-up — no credit card, no "Start Trial" button to find. Business plans get 10 free revenue-realization actions; Business Pro gets 15.
We deliberately count only the moments where you're actually earning, not the moments where you're trying to win work or setting things up. The trial fires when you:
- Send an invoice (the moment you ask a customer to pay)
- Commit a payroll run (employees actually paid)
- Generate a tax report (GST/HST, sales tax, income tax) or P&L statement
- Send an employee invite (provisions a Pro seat)
Everything else is unlimited and free from day one. That includes:
- Estimates, contracts, proposals, receipts — all the pre-sale paperwork you need to win business. Send 100 estimates if that's what it takes; none of them count.
- All data entry: customers, expenses, inventory items, employees, vehicles, jobs, projects, catalog items, timesheets, mileage trips
- Drafts of anything — saving an invoice draft, an estimate draft, etc.
- Internal paperwork: packing slips, purchase orders, work orders
The philosophy: a typical small-business owner sends 5–10 estimates to land one paid job. If we counted estimates, you could blow through your trial in a week without ever actually getting paid, which would be a hostile way to introduce the product. So estimates and all sales-pipeline work are uncapped — the trial only burns when you've crossed the line from "trying to earn" to "actually earning."
When your trial actions run out, you'll see an upgrade prompt at the moment you try to send/run/generate. If you don't subscribe, your account quietly drops to the free tier — your data stays intact and reappears the moment you reactivate.
