Understanding Your Free Trial and What Happens After

What happens when your trial ends Once your 14-day trial-ends date passes, your account is locked to Settings → Billing until you subscribe — every other section (Searches, Lists, Outreach, Interviews, Inbox, AI Agent) is greyed out and shows "Available once your subscription is active." The same lock applies if a subscription payment fails repeatedly (past-due) or is cancelled.

Upgrading to a paid plan Pick Starter or Growth right from Settings → Billing — select Select this plan, then add a card if you haven't already. Pick Starter or Growth right from Settings → Billing... No need to contact support

What your trial period includes

40 credits, total, for the life of your trial — unlike searches and agent runs, this allowance doesn't refresh every 30 days.

The "trial ends" date

Settings → Billing shows a trial end date, set to 14 days after you signed up.

What actually blocks you

The real limit you'll hit is usage, not the calendar date: once you've used your period's searches, agent runs, or credits, further attempts are blocked with a message pointing you to Settings → Billing, until your next 30-day period starts or you upgrade.

Upgrading to a paid plan

There's no self-serve upgrade button in FastHire yet — contact FastHire support to move to a paid plan. See "Understanding FastHire's Pricing Plans" for what Starter, Growth, and Enterprise each include.
