A free trial! It looks awesome, but I was worried, this is great! Now I’ll know for sure if I should buy it.

…Ah nevermind, I bet there’s something else out there.

I’m trying to remember when I last had a real “free trial” and not these “give me your credit card subscription scams”. A bonafide “try our thing for real” situation made me buy it.

Free food or drinks for sure. Maybe a newspaper or magazine when I was a kid?

Downloadable game demos is the closest I can think of.

I know exactly. I started getting into music creation with a DAW and wanted a good drums plugin. Toontrack Superior Drums claims to be the industry standard but I couldn’t use their trial without a credit card. Addictive Drums 2, their closest competitor, actually had a free trial. Guess which one I ended up buying after trying it out for a couple months?

Lightburn (laser cutter software) lets you trial the full version for 1 month free. It doubles as an excellent way to get up to speed on the software without tying up the laser cutter’s computer (community machine).

And they even let you extend it. I don’t think I paid for it for like 4 months.

Create a virtual card just for that trial, and lock it.

In quebec, it’s actually illegal to do that! That’s why we don’t have Spotify free trials anymore though lol
