Companies use free trials to attract new customers and encourage people to try their products. Many hope customers will continue their subscription after the trial period, which is why most offers require a payment method during sign up.

No — many users simply sign up for the introductory offer or free trial and then cancel before the next billing date. Always check the cancellation terms and renewal dates before signing up to avoid unexpected charges.

Most free trials can be cancelled directly through your account settings on the company’s website or app. Some services may require cancellation before your next billing date, while others may require a few days notice. We recommend setting a reminder as soon as you sign up.

Some free trials are completely free, while others may charge a small amount for postage, packaging or the first discounted box. Subscription services usually require a payment card during sign up even if the first offer is free.

Most major free trial offers featured on My Side Gig come from established brands and subscription services. As with any online sign up, always read the terms and conditions carefully and make sure you understand when future payments may begin.
