A trial screen with the reminder and charge dates

“How your free trial works”: “Get 7 days free, then only $39.99 per year”. A timeline shows “Today: Start Your Free Trial”, “Day 5: Trial Reminder” and “Day 7: Trial Ends”, “You’ll be charged on Oct 24, 2025, cancel anytime before.” Below: “On the next page you can choose a plan, or continue with the free version.”

Design takeaway

Giving the reminder day and the charge date, and saying a free version exists, is honest. It still comes before the first use.

First use

From opening on a passage, a prayer or a question box with nothing asked, through a first page of places to start, guest use and a short tour, to questions first and payment before the first use: decide what a new person must give, and when, before they reach what they came for.
