Your trial and subscription

Understand how the free trial works, add a payment method, and manage or cancel billing.

Licentio starts you on a free trial and only charges when the trial ends. Everything about billing lives under Settings → Subscription, and a banner across the top of the app shows your trial status while it's running.

Your trial

During the trial you have full access. The subscription page shows how many days remain, the exact date your trial ends, and whether you have a payment method on file. To keep access after the trial, add a payment method before it ends.

You choose monthly or annual billing. Prices are shown in the app when you start, where the annual plan is marked as the best value and its yearly savings are displayed. Your card is handled by Stripe — your card details go directly to Stripe and never touch Licentio's servers.

Offer codes

Have a beta or promo code? Under Have an offer code?, select Apply to enter it. A valid code can extend your trial or unlock free access, and some codes mean no card is required at all.

Manage your subscription

Open Stripe portal takes you to Stripe's secure portal, where you can update your payment method, switch plans, view invoices, or cancel. This is the same portal regardless of how you signed up.

Cancel

You can cancel your subscription right in your account — no phone call or email. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period: you keep access until then and won't be charged again.

Gotchas

If your trial ends with no payment method, the app goes read-only. Your data is preserved and nothing is deleted, but you can't log new hours until you add billing. If you're mid-placement, add a payment method before your trial ends so logging never pauses.

Annual bills once a year; monthly is more flexible. Pick deliberately. You can switch plans later from the Stripe portal, but choosing the right one up front avoids a proration surprise.
Cancel means end-of-period, not instant. You keep access through the period you've paid for. There's no partial refund, but there's also no immediate lockout.

FAQ

When am I charged? Not until your trial ends. The subscription page shows the exact first-charge date.

How do I add or change my payment method? Add one from the subscription page or the billing banner. To change it later, open the Stripe portal.

How do I cancel? Select Cancel subscription on the subscription page. It takes effect at the end of your current billing period, and you keep access until then.

What happens to my hours if I cancel or my trial lapses? Nothing is deleted. Your data is preserved; the app becomes read-only for new logging until you're subscribed again.

Do I need a credit card to try Licentio? You add a payment method to start the trial, unless you have an offer code that waives it. You're not charged until the trial ends, and you can cancel before then.
