# Trial

Every new account automatically starts with a **7-day trial** — at the full scope of the Professional plan, **no credit card required**. You'll see the countdown in the sidebar and in your [billing settings](https://app.kalender-sync.de/settings/billing).

## During the trial

- All providers (incl. Apple iCloud, GMX, WEB.DE, mailbox.org, KSuite, iCal feeds), unlimited syncs, syncing your own calendars — try everything.
- There's **one trial per account** — it can't be extended or restarted (not even by deleting and re-registering).

## What happens at the end? (Important)

If the trial expires without you subscribing, your account automatically switches to **Free**. What happens then:

- Syncs beyond the Free limit (1 sharing, 2 accounts) are **paused**.
- For paused syncs of your own calendars, the copied entries in the target calendar show "⚠ Abo abgelaufen – jetzt verlängern" for **14 days**, then they're **removed**. Your **original events are never touched** — only the synced copies are removed.
- Apple, GMX, WEB.DE, mailbox.org and KSuite accounts are **disabled** but remain configured.
- iCal feeds count like any other calendar account: whatever exceeds the free limit of 2 accounts is disabled (most recently added first) — the rest keeps running.
- **Fully reversible**: after an [upgrade](https://docs.kalender-sync.de/en/account-billing/upgrade-cancel/), everything is restored automatically from your original calendars — no re-setup.

So don't be surprised if syncs are "suddenly off" 14 days after the trial ends — a look at the status in the dashboard (paused with a lock) shows why.

## Continuing right away

Subscribe before the trial ends ([upgrade](https://docs.kalender-sync.de/en/account-billing/upgrade-cancel/)) and you won't notice the transition at all. The [plan comparison](https://docs.kalender-sync.de/en/account-billing/plans-limits/) shows which plan fits your setup.
