Crowdcast offers a two-week free trial so you can explore the platform and test many of the features available on our Business Plan before choosing a subscription.
No credit card is required to start your trial.
What’s included in the free trial?
During your two-week trial, you can create and test events with the following limits:
Sessions can be up to 60 minutes long
Up to 10 registrations
1 host seat
Email importing is disabled
Email templates can be explored and edited, but saving custom templates requires a paid plan
You can use your trial to familiarize yourself with Crowdcast, invite a small group to test with you, and see how your events will work before subscribing.
Before going live: Make sure you've verified your email. You can do this from your Channel Dashboard → Billing Portal.
Planning to accept more than 10 registrations?
Upgrade before your trial event reaches its 10-registration limit. If someone attempts to register after the limit has been reached, upgrading later will not automatically add them to the event.
If this happens with a paid event:
1. Compare the event’s successful transactions with its registered attendees.
2. Import any purchasers who are missing from the attendee list, using the email address associated with their payment.
3. Do not ask those attendees to purchase another ticket or pay again.
