What does the free trial include?
Quick answer
The trial runs with full access to Flex Strata's features and no card required to start, so a committee can properly test the setup wizard, meetings and maintenance board before deciding to subscribe.
Key takeaways
- The trial requires no card to start
- Full features are available during the trial — there's no reduced trial tier
- Trial setup carries over automatically if you subscribe afterwards
A common frustration with software trials is that they're either too short to properly evaluate, or gated behind a card detail upfront that makes them feel like a subscription with an opt-out. Flex Strata's trial is designed to avoid both.
Trial basics
- Full length is shown on the pricing page
- No card required to start
- Full feature access — there's no cut-down "trial version" of the product
What to do during the trial
- Run through the setup wizard and bring in your building's details and core documents
- Invite the rest of the committee so everyone can see the portal, not just the person who signed up
- If timing allows, run an actual meeting or raise a real maintenance job, rather than only clicking through the interface
What happens at the end of the trial
If you decide to continue, you'll be asked to add billing details and choose monthly or yearly billing. If you decide not to continue, there's no ongoing charge since no card was taken at the start.
Does trial data carry over?
Yes — whatever you set up during the trial (documents, committee members, meetings, maintenance jobs) carries straight through if you subscribe, so nothing needs to be redone.
Getting the most out of seven days
Committees that get the most value out of the trial tend to bring in real, current information rather than test data, and use the seven days to replace their usual spreadsheets, group chats and email for a fair comparison.
Use real data, not test data
Bringing in your actual building details and current maintenance items gives a much more useful trial than clicking through with placeholder information.
