Added a One-Time 30-Day Free Trial Per Account for Monthly and Annual Plans
We added a free trial policy and guidance so that first-time accounts selecting a monthly or annual plan can try 5BY.AI for 30 days before payment.
The value of 5BY.AI becomes clearer not in the moment of saving a few conversations but through the process of creating Saved and Anchor across multiple conversations and revisiting them. We added a 30-day free trial to monthly and annual plans so users can fully experience the product in their actual workflow before payment.
The free trial is not a period to briefly look at features but a period to verify the value of reentry in your own AI workflow.
What Changed in This Update
- Provides a one-time 30-day free trial per account for new accounts starting a plan for the first time.
- Applies the same free trial policy when selecting a monthly or annual plan.
- Added guidance on the pricing page and homepage so free trial conditions can be checked.
- Applied display criteria showing remaining free trial days and monthly usage together for free trial accounts.
- Clearly guides the structure where payment for the user's selected plan continues after the free trial ends.
- Uses a once-per-account condition to prevent duplicate trials or repeated application.
How to Verify
- Log in to 5by.ai and open /pricing.
- Compare monthly or annual plans and free trial conditions.
- After selecting a plan, check the account's free trial start and scheduled end information.
- During the trial period, use Saved, Anchor, and Handoff in actual work across multiple AI conversations.
- Before the trial ends, recheck the plan and scheduled payment status.
Example in Actual Usage Flow
For example, to verify this change, the user logs in to 5by.ai and opens /pricing. They compare monthly or annual plans and free trial conditions. Then after selecting a plan, they check the account's free trial start and scheduled end information. Finally, before the trial ends, they recheck the plan and scheduled payment status. In this flow, the following conditions should also be checked. The free trial is provided only once per account. Therefore, this update is not just adding one more notice item but enabling the user to check the start, result, and limitations of the feature within the same flow.
Before and After the Change
Before the change, users had to guess this feature or notice from other screens or navigate across multiple pages. After this update, we added a free trial policy and guidance so that first-time accounts selecting a monthly or annual plan can try 5BY.AI for 30 days before payment. However, items where public notices and actual account/runtime status may differ need to be checked separately, and notice text alone should not be interpreted as expanding permissions or availability.
Scope and Things to Note
- The free trial is provided only once per account.
- After 30 days, payment for the selected plan may continue, so pricing page conditions should be checked.
- The free trial period and monthly usage limit are different pieces of information and are displayed separately.
- If there are issues with account status or payment results, check the existing account status rather than creating a new account.
Why This Change Matters in the Overall 5BY.AI Structure
The 30-day free trial is a mechanism that lets users judge the long-term value of 5BY.AI before payment. Through the experience of saving conversation flows in actual projects and revisiting them days later to continue, users can check whether the product fits their work style, not just a simple feature list.
Criteria for Verifying This Update
- The public screen title, summary, and actual provided feature should describe the same content.
- Adding a new feature should not arbitrarily change existing Saved, Anchor, Handoff, and account flows.
- Conditions that are in preparation or vary by account should be marked separately without exaggerating as fully available.
