A 30-day free trial gives you access to a game or service for a fixed, limited amount of time without having to pay for it until the time is elapsed. After that, the trial period ends, and you'll have to dish out the dough if you want to continue. If it's a subscription-based service, and they made you give them a credit card to start the trial, you'll often be billed automatically for another month the exact second the trial is over. note And if you want to cancel your subscription before the trial period expires, it's not unheard of for the vendor to make it difficult to actually cancel the service. They already have your credit card number, and may continue to charge you for services you no longer want until you go through the "proper" procedures (often requiring an extremely precisely worded letter send through the postal service to an easy to screw up address that takes a week to process, so you actually need to send it well before the end to even have a chance at avoiding that first charge), or dispute the transaction through the credit card company. Many, however, are kinder - you'll generally be set to auto-renew by default, but all you have to do is go into the settings to cancel. Thirty days is common, as is 1 hour for casuals, but any length of time counts. Not to be confused with the Freemium model, where the free version of the game has limited content, but no time restrictions; Freemium services often include a 30-day free trial of the premium version. Shareware often uses this model as well. If advertising plays up the trial version with phrases like "Play now for free!" while playing down the actual and full cost, it may just be an Allegedly Free Game. |

Final Fantasy XIV has a free trial for new players who wish to experience the game before buying it and starting a subscription. However, the trial imposes several limitations on free trial players, such as being unable to send friend requests or private messages. This also doubles as a barrier against people who would use the free accounts to send spam to everyone or making dummy accounts for botting. While there was originally a time limit on the free trial, they eventually removed it in lieu of a level cap of 35. Shadowbringers, however, expanded the free trial to encompass all of the game's content from A Realm Reborn to the end of Heavensward. | |

Escape Velocity is distributed as shareware. You can download and play for free for 30 days (though the plots cut off about the halfway point), after which many pieces of the game (certain ships, for instance) are blocked off. And in Nova, Captain Hector will hunt you down and kill you. | |

EVE Online had varying lengths of free trial up until a 2016 update which allowed for indefinite trial accounts. Trial accounts under both systems are limited in which of the game's many ships they can fly. | |

Playing Minecraft on an account that hasn't bought the game yet will limit the player to 100 minutes (5 in-game days) of gameplay on a preset world, after which their only options are to reset the world or buy the game. | |

PlanetSide once had a Reserves event note Players were limited to level 6 (out of 25 at the time) and Command Rank 1 (out of 5) which included a one year long trial that stood up to its name by attracting a lot of players. The game also had a seven-day trial before and after the Reserves, but a few years after the Reserves ended, the trials ended because they were very convenient for hackers - they'd get banned, then immediately make another trial account. The sequel switched to full free-to-play with Microtransactions. | |
