Free plan vs. trial plan
Free and trial plans are two different plans:
The AfterShip Free Plan is a permanent plan that lets you use AfterShip at no cost with limited features and a fixed shipment quota each month–50 shipments per month. It’s great for small-scale use or testing basic tracking needs without paying anything.
The AfterShip Trial Plan, on the other hand, is a temporary 7-day plan only to test premium features before purchasing a subscription. You can explore many of the advanced features before upgrading to a paid plan. Once the trial ends, you need to choose a paid plan to continue using those premium features.
Plan upgrades and overage charges
If your shipments quota goes over the monthly limit, extra charges apply for the additional shipments, depending on your current plan. To avoid this, you can upgrade your plan anytime during the billing cycle, and the upgrades take effect immediately. The plan is valid until the end of the current billing period. Please note, unused shipment quota doesn’t carry over to the next billing cycle. (AfterShip Tracking Monthly Service Plans)
