We offer a free 14-day trial of our paid plans so you can try our paid features before you subscribe.
How does the 14-day free trial work?
Our free trial lets you explore any paid plan — free for 14 days. Whether you’re new to Later or on a Free plan, you can start a free trial on any of our paid plans to test drive more features. After your free trial ends, your paid subscription to your selected plan will automatically start unless you cancel before your trial ends.
Am I eligible for a free trial?
If you’re new to Later or on a Free plan, you can start a free 14-day free trial on of any our paid plans. If you’re on a paid plan or used to be on a paid plan, you’re not eligible for a free trial.
You can start a free 14-day trial on your Later account once. If you’ve already started a free 14-day trial on your account, you’re not eligible for another free trial.

What happens after my trial ends?
After your free trial ends, you’ll automatically move to a paid subscription. If you cancel your trial before it ends, your paid subscription won’t start and you won’t be charged.
What if I cancel my trial before it ends?
If you cancel your trial before it ends, you’ll still be able to enjoy all the features of your trial plan for the rest of your 14-day trial period. After you cancel your trial, you won’t be able to start a new trial.
How do I cancel my trial?
Here’s how to cancel your Later trial, based on where you signed up for it:

Can I end my free trial early?
On a free trial, you already have access to all of the features of your paid plan. The trial gives you some extra time to test Later’s features before making your first payment. If you need to end your trial early for accounting purposes, please contact us.
Can I try more than one paid plan?
During your 14-day trial period, you can change plans. When you change plans, the remaining time on your trial will stay the same. That is, you won’t get another 14 days free if you start a trial of another paid plan.
Upgrading to a higher trial plan
If you upgrade to a higher trial plan, you’ll move to that new plan right away for the remaining time on your trial. After your trial ends, you’ll move to a paid subscription of that higher plan. To ensure you move to the new trial plan right away, don’t switch your billing cycle from yearly to monthly at the same time. Update your trial plan first and then go back and update your billing cycle separately if you need to.
Downgrading to a lower trial plan
If you downgrade to a lower trial plan, you’ll stay on the higher plan during your trial period so you can continue to access all its features. After your trial ends, you’ll move to a paid subscription of the lower plan you selected.
I upgraded to a higher trial plan but it looks like I’m still on my original trial plan. How do I fix this?
If you upgraded your trial plan but don’t have access to this higher trial plan yet, this likely happened because you also changed your billing cycle from yearly to monthly at the same time. Here’s how to fix this:
- Go to the Plans page and click Manage Your Trial
- Under Plan Summary, select Pay Yearly & Save. Don’t worry, you’ll update this back to monthly later.
- Click Update Free Trial.
- You should now be on a trial of the higher plan you wanted. Next, you’ll change the billing cycle back to monthly.
- On the Subscription page, click Change Plan.
- Under your plan, click Manage Your Plan.
- Under Plan Summary, select Pay Monthly.
- Click Update Free Trial.
After your trial ends, your paid monthly subscription will start.
What happens if I add extra Social Sets or users to my trial?
If you add extra Social Sets or users to your Growth or Advanced plan trial, they’re free for your trial period. After your trial ends, you’ll be charged for them. To avoid being charged, remove any extra Social Sets or users before your trial ends.
