How your free trial starts

The short answer

Your trial is 7 days on the Pro plan, no credit card, and it switches on within a second or two of you signing up. If your dashboard still looks locked a minute later: refresh the page, then check Billing, then email us. Nothing here is risky — starting a trial does not send a single email, does not touch a LinkedIn or Instagram account, and cannot affect anyone's sender reputation. The worst case is a short wait.

WarmySender is a 4-pillar outreach platform — Cold Emailing, Email Warmup, LinkedIn Outreach, and Multichannel sequences. Your trial covers the Pro plan, which is the cold email and email warmup side; the LinkedIn and Instagram add-ons are separate seats you can add whenever you want one.

What happens when you start a trial

The trial is 7 days, on the Pro plan, and no credit card is required. When you click to start it, three things happen back to back, and in normal conditions all three are finished before you have read this sentence:

  1. Your account and workspace are created. You can sign in from this moment.
  2. Your trial is registered against your billing profile. No payment method is collected and no charge is made. This step exists so that if you later decide to subscribe, your history stays on one account instead of being split across two.
  3. Your plan switches on. The dashboard unlocks, and you can connect mailboxes, start warmup, and build campaigns.

Until step 3 finishes, the dashboard holds paid features back. That is deliberate: we would rather make you wait two seconds than let a campaign start sending on an account whose plan has not finished switching on.

How long it takes

Usually a second or two, start to finish. In the slowest case we have measured it is about 30 seconds. If your dashboard is fully usable straight away — which is what almost everyone sees — there is nothing on this page you need.

If your dashboard still looks locked

Three steps, in this order. Most people never get past the first one.

  1. Refresh the page. The dashboard reads your plan fresh on every load, so if activation finished in the second after your page rendered, a refresh is all it takes. Give it about 30 seconds and refresh once more before moving on.
  2. Open Billing. This is the one screen that will tell you plainly if something is genuinely outstanding. If there is an unpaid invoice on your account it is named there — what it is for, its date, its amount — with a button to pay it. If Billing shows nothing outstanding and your plan is listed, you are activated; go back to the dashboard and refresh.
  3. Email us. If Billing looks fine but the dashboard still holds features back, write to [email protected] from the address you signed up with and tell us roughly when you signed up. We can see your account and put it right. Please do not sign up a second time — a duplicate account splits your history and makes the fix slower for both of us.

Activation runs on our side, not in your browser, so it keeps going whether your tab is open, closed, or asleep. There is nothing you can break by walking away and coming back.

A worked example

Maya signs up at 9:14 a.m. on Tuesday and lands on a dashboard that still shows the Connect a mailbox step greyed out. She refreshes at 9:15 and it is open — her trial had switched on a second after the page first drew. Total time lost: about forty seconds.

Her trial runs to 9:14 a.m. the following Tuesday, 7 days later. Nothing is charged during those 7 days, and nothing is charged when the trial ends. If she has not chosen a plan by then, her account moves into a restricted state: she can still sign in and everything she built is kept exactly as it is, but campaigns stop sending and warmup pauses until she picks a plan. Choosing one switches it all back on.

What happens when the 7 days are up

Nothing is charged, and there is nothing to cancel. If you have chosen a plan, it simply takes over. If you have not, your account moves into a restricted state — and it is worth being straight about what that means, because it is not a free plan sitting underneath:

If your trial has already ended and this is what you are looking at, Billing is the one place to go: pick a plan and your campaigns and warmup come back on their own.

Frequently asked questions

Will I be charged anything to start the trial?

No. The trial needs no credit card and takes no payment. We register your trial against a billing profile so that your history stays on one account if you later subscribe, but nothing is collected and nothing is charged. You are only asked for a card if and when you choose a paid plan.

How long is the trial, and what happens at the end?

7 days on the Pro plan. Nothing is charged at the end and there is nothing to cancel. If you have not chosen a plan by then, your account moves into a restricted state rather than a free plan: you can still sign in and everything you set up is kept, but campaigns stop sending and warmup pauses until you pick one. Choosing a plan switches it all back on, usually within a few minutes, with your warmup progress kept.

Is everything included in the trial?

Almost. The trial covers the Pro plan's cold email and email warmup features — connecting mailboxes, warming them up, and building and running campaigns. Two things sit outside it: the email verifier is not part of the trial, and LinkedIn and Instagram are separate add-on seats rather than something the trial turns on. Neither affects what you can try on the email side.

The dashboard still looks locked. What is the actual fix?

Refresh the page first — activation normally completes within a second or two, and the dashboard reads your plan fresh on every load. If that does not do it, open Billing: anything genuinely outstanding is named there, with what it is for, its date and its amount, and a button to settle it. If Billing is clear and the dashboard still is not, email [email protected] from your signup address and we will sort it out.

Is my data safe if activation is slow?

Yes. Waiting for a plan to switch on is exactly that — a wait. No email is sent, no LinkedIn or Instagram account is touched, no warmup runs, nothing is charged and nothing is deleted. When activation lands, everything you had already entered is still there.

Should I sign up again if it seems stuck?

Please don't. A second account splits your history in two and makes it slower for us to fix the first one. Stay on the original account, follow the three steps above, and email us if you are still stuck.

Does my tab need to stay open?

No. Activation happens on our side. Close the tab, make a coffee, come back — the next time you load the dashboard it will reflect the current state of your account.

Still stuck? Email [email protected] from the address you signed up with, tell us roughly when you signed up, and we will take it from there.
