How does the 30-day trial period work?
During the free 30-day trial, you and your team enjoy all features of a Premium account without needing a credit card. After 30 days, you select a subscription plan and enter payment details to begin billing. If no paid plan is chosen, your account converts to the free plan with limited features. -
How will I be charged for my subscription?
After the trial, you select a plan and set up payment information. You are billed automatically every month for the chosen plan. You can cancel or change your plan anytime, with mid-month changes prorated. -
Do I have to sign a long-term contract?
No, Allocate is a month-to-month subscription service with no long-term contracts or hidden fees. You pay monthly after the trial and can cancel anytime. -
What happens when I use up all allotted resources on my plan?
When you reach the limit of maximum people or project boards, you and collaborators are prompted to upgrade. You cannot add more people or boards until upgrading, and your subscription level only changes if you explicitly make that change.
