Your 14-day free trial

Every new site is free for 14 days, on any plan, without a card. How to keep it afterwards, and what happens if you don’t.

When you create your site, its subscription starts with 14 days free. You don’t enter a card to start, and everything in your plan works during the trial: posts, newsletters, members, your own domain.

Keep your site after the trial

Log in at dash.blogaly.com.
Select Manage billing. This opens our secure billing page, run by Stripe.
Add a payment method.

That’s all. Your trial carries on to the end, and the first monthly payment is taken when it finishes. You can add the card on day one or day thirteen; you pay nothing extra either way.

If the trial ends without a card

The subscription ends and your site is paused: it goes offline, and you and your readers can’t reach it. Nothing is deleted. Your posts, members, images and settings are kept exactly as they were.

Your dashboard shows paused — your subscription ended; restart it to bring the site back, with a Restart my subscription button.

Select Restart my subscription.
On the checkout page, enter your card and pay. This starts a new subscription on the same plan. It’s paid straight away; there’s no second trial.
You’re sent back to your dashboard. Within a few minutes your site shows coming back online, then live.

Good to know

The trial is the same length on every plan. You can’t change plan during it yourself; contact us if you picked the wrong one.
Each account has one site, so there’s one trial per account.
Don’t want to continue? You don’t have to do anything. If you want your data first, export it before the trial ends, while the site is still online.
