BOTLOBBIESDo I need a card for the 30-minute free trial?
No card is required for the standard 30-minute trial. It has no automatic charge; optional longer PRO trials are separate offers that require card confirmation in Stripe.
The initial trial
The standard trial is an opportunity to try the service using an Epic account before purchasing PRO. The published terms describe 30 minutes without registration and without automatic billing. Linking Epic for that trial is an account connection step, not a payment authorization. You do not need to enter a card just to make that connection. If you reach a Stripe screen, you have moved into a separate payment or promotional offer and should review that screen before continuing.
Optional offers have different terms
An eligible account may later see a longer PRO trial that costs 0.00 USD at activation and requires a saved card. A zero amount today does not make that offer the same as the initial trial. The card-based offer creates a subscription with a stated trial end and a recurring weekly price afterwards. Different offers can have different trial lengths. Use the exact length and first-charge conditions shown in your current confirmation, rather than assuming every free label describes the same arrangement.
Checking before you agree
Before confirming anything in Stripe, read the amount due now, the recurring amount, the billing interval and whether a card is being saved. If you want only the initial trial, you can stop before accepting a subscription offer. If you choose a card-based trial, arrange cancellation before its first charge if you do not want renewal, and confirm the effective cancellation date. Closing the browser or stopping the bot is not a substitute for cancelling an existing subscription. Keep these two decisions separate when evaluating the service.
