# Make the most of your free trial

> A short checklist to test the things that matter to you before your 14 days are up.

Fourteen days go quickly. Use this checklist to prove what most teams want to see before they subscribe: a funnel that looks right, leads that arrive where you need them and follow-up that works.

**Before you start**, you need:

* A free trial running on the plan that has the features you want to test. Multiple emails in one email flow, Meta Conversions API, live calendar tracking and webhooks need Growth or Scale. You can move your trial to another plan at any time without paying. See [Choose the right plan](/billing/choose-a-plan).
* A plan for your AI credits. Trials include 100 AI credits per month, so use them on what matters most.

## Your trial checklist

<Steps>
  <Step title="Build your first funnel">
    Start from a template or from scratch, then write questions that fit your audience. See [Launch your first funnel](/getting-started/launch-your-first-funnel).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Share it and send a test lead">
    Open your funnel link, answer the questions as a visitor would and submit. Then check the lead in **Leads**. See [Share your funnel](/funnels/share-your-funnel) and [View and manage your leads](/leads/view-and-manage-leads).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Send leads to the tools you use">
    Connect the places your team works. Google Sheets, HighLevel and tracking pixels are on every plan, and webhooks need Growth or above.

    * [Send leads to HighLevel](/integrations/highlevel)
    * [Send leads to Google Sheets](/integrations/google-sheets)
    * [Track ads with Meta Pixel](/integrations/meta-pixel)
    * [Send leads with webhooks](/integrations/webhooks)
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set up your sender and follow-up emails">
    Verify your own sender email early, so you can test real emails before the trial ends. Then build an automated email for new leads. See [Add and verify a sender email](/messages/custom-sender-email) and [Send automated emails to new leads](/messages/automated-emails).

    Starter allows one message per email flow. To test a sequence with delays, use a Growth or Scale trial. See [Send a series of follow-up emails](/messages/email-sequences).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Alert your team">
    Send an alert to your team when a new lead comes in, so nobody finds out late. See [Email your team when a lead arrives](/messages/team-alerts).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Check your numbers">
    Once visitors arrive, open **Analytics** to see visitors, conversion rate and where people drop off. Use it to improve weak steps before your trial ends. See [Read your funnel analytics](/analytics/funnel-analytics).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Decide on your plan">
    Compare your usage with the plan limits in [Check your plan and usage](/billing/plan-and-usage). When you are ready, follow [Upgrade your plan](/billing/upgrade) to subscribe. Subscribing charges you that day and ends the rest of your trial.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What happens if you need more time

You are not charged if you do nothing. After your 14 days, you have a 7 day grace period to subscribe. See [How the 14-day free trial works](/billing/free-trial) for the full timeline.
