Overview

Our 15-day free trial gives you time to explore Referral Factory and test your referral program before committing to a paid subscription. You can build your campaign, configure how referrals are tracked and qualified, set up rewards, connect integrations, and test the referral journey from end to end.
If your trial ends before you subscribe, your account is paused rather than immediately deleted, so you can come back and continue where you left off.

How long is the Referral Factory free trial?

The Referral Factory free trial lasts 15 days from the time you create your trial account.
During the trial, you can use the platform to build and test your referral program and decide whether Referral Factory is the right fit for your business.
You’ll also see a countdown in the platform showing how much time is left in your trial.

What features can I test during the trial?

During the trial, you can test all features available on your trial plan and build a working referral program before you subscribe.
For example, you can:
The goal of the trial is to let you test how your referral program will work in practice, rather than only previewing the software.
  • Build and customize your referral campaign.
  • Create and test referral links.
  • Add Referrers and generate test referrals.
  • Configure qualification rules.
  • Set up rewards.
  • Connect supported integrations.
  • Test the referral journey from Referrer to Lead to Qualified Lead.
  • Explore referral tracking and reporting available on your plan.

Are there any trial limits?

The main limit is time: your free trial lasts for 15 days.
Your feature access during the trial is based on the plan you are testing. This means the trial lets you test the functionality included with that plan rather than unlocking Enterprise-only functionality or custom services.
If you need help deciding which features or plan are right for your referral program, you can contact our support team during your trial.

Do I need a card to start the trial?

No. You do not need to add a credit card to start your Referral Factory free trial.
You can create your trial account using your name, business email address, and password, and start exploring the platform right away.
You can choose to add a payment method during the trial if you want to, but it is not required to get started.

What happens to my campaigns and data when the trial ends?

If your trial expires without moving to a paid subscription, your account is paused, but your campaigns and data are not immediately deleted.
We retain your trial account data for up to one year, which means you can return later, reactivate your account, and continue with the campaigns you already created instead of starting over.
While the account is paused, you will not have normal access to the platform until the account is reactivated.

How do I continue on a paid plan?

If you decide to continue using Referral Factory after your trial, you can choose a paid plan and add your payment details from the Billing section of your account.
Once your subscription is active, you can continue working with the campaigns and data you created during your trial.
If your trial has already expired, you can reactivate your account by subscribing to a paid plan. Your existing campaigns and data will still be available as long as they are within the retention period.
If you’re not sure which plan is right for your business, you can review our pricing page or speak with our team before subscribing.
Compare the available tiers in Which Referral Factory Plan Is Right for My Business?, then use the billing settings guide when you are ready to add payment details.
