Understanding Your Free Trial and What Happens After
Rakesh · August 5, 2026 · 3 min read
Your trial gives you a fixed usage allowance — 2 AI searches, up to 20 candidates sourced per search, 2 agent runs, and 10 contact credits — that resets every 30 days from the day you signed up, not on a calendar month. Signing up also sets a 14-day "trial ends" date shown in Settings → Billing, but as of now nothing automatically happens to your account when that date passes.
What your trial period includes
2 AI searches per 30-day period
Up to 20 candidates sourced per search
2 agent runs per 30-day period
10 contact credits per 30-day period
These limits reset every 30 days counted from your account's creation date, not a fixed calendar month — check Settings → Billing to see your current period's start and end dates and usage so far.
The "trial ends" date
Settings → Billing shows a trial end date, set to 14 days after you signed up. This date is informational — it isn't currently tied to any automatic change in your account. Your usage limits keep working the same rolling-30-day way before and after it, and your account doesn't get locked out or downgraded on its own once it passes.
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.

Frequently asked questions
Will my account be locked or deleted when my 14-day trial ends?
No — based on how the trial actually works today, nothing automatically changes when that date passes. Your usage limits keep applying the same way.
Do my trial limits reset on the 1st of each month?
No — they reset every 30 days from your signup date specifically, which is very likely a different date than the calendar month.
How do I know how much of my trial usage I have left?
Settings → Billing shows your current period's dates and usage across searches, agent runs, and credits.
How do I upgrade before or after my trial period?
Contact FastHire support — there's no in-app upgrade flow to do this yourself right now.
