There used to be two ways in, depending on where you were reading from. Now there is one, and it is the same for everyone.

## What changed

- **The same trial everywhere.** In India and outside it, a new account gets 7 days of full Pro. Not a reduced version of it.
- **No card.** The trial asks for no payment details, and nothing is charged during it or after it.
- **It starts when you sign up.** There is nothing to choose and nothing to activate. Your first paper can go in straight away.
- **You keep everything afterwards.** When the seven days are up, the workspace moves to the free plan. Your library, citations, and reference sync stay where they are, with lighter limits on documents and questions. Upgrade when you are ready, not before.
- **One trial per person,** as before.
- **Testimonials earn a week again.** An approved testimonial now adds 7 days of Pro, back from a single day.

Prices have not moved. Pro and Lab still cost what they did in each country, and paid plans keep the 7-day money-back guarantee.
