About time based trial

Time-based trials provide users with trial access for a specified duration, starting when the Trial node is activated. Features include trial tracking, mid-trial experiences, and data reporting.

Time-based trial allows you to give users trial access for a duration of time. A trial starts each time when the Trial node is hit.

Similar to view-based trials, the following are available for time-based trials:
  • Use Trial Tracker to track the trials
  • Define mid-trial experiences for end users
  • Use Data Layer for reporting on trial data

You can use the time-based Trial node with the Registered Start decision node for registered users, or the Session Start decision node for anonymous users, to give users who registered or started a session after a specific time point a free trial for a certain period.

The screenshot below displays a simple rule that will give end users who registered after 12:00, 2023/08/01, a 10 days trial and show end users who registered before that time a paywall:
