Getting Started

Starting Your Free Trial

Everything you need to know about Strova's 15-day free trial — what's included, how it works, and what happens when it ends.


Every new Strova organization starts with a 15-day free trial. You get full access to the plan you choose — no credit card required to start.

What's Included in the Trial

Your trial gives you complete access to either the Startup or Business plan — whichever you selected during onboarding. There are no feature restrictions during the trial period.

  • Full AI-guided daily updates
  • DSM Board for your team(s)
  • KPI scoring and weekly reports
  • All plan-specific features (readonly members, project hours on Business)

How to Start Your Trial

The trial begins automatically when you complete the onboarding wizard and select a plan. The 15-day clock starts from that moment.

You can see your trial status and days remaining at any time in Settings → Billing.

Adding a Payment Method

You can add a payment method at any time during the trial — doing so doesn't charge you until the trial ends. To add one:

  1. Go to Settings → Billing
  2. Click Add Payment Method
  3. Enter your card details

If you don't add a payment method before the trial ends, your account moves to a read-only state and daily update submissions are paused until you subscribe.

What Happens When the Trial Ends

When your 15-day trial expires:

  • If you have an active subscription: Everything continues normally.
  • If you haven't subscribed: Your account enters a readonly state. Existing data is preserved but members can't submit new updates. You can reactivate at any time by adding a payment method and subscribing.

Trial Extensions

If you need more time, contact us — trial extensions are available on a case-by-case basis.

Switching Plans During the Trial

You can switch between Startup and Business at any time during the trial. Go to Settings → Billing and select a different plan. The switch is instant and free — no charge until the trial ends.
