When you sign up for Branch, you get a 30-day free trial with access to all three Basics plans (Performance, Engagement, and Activation). No plan selection is required at signup.
During your trial, you can explore all Basics features and decide which plan fits your needs.
How the trial works
- Sign up with a work email address and credit card. A $10 temporary hold is placed on your card and automatically refunded.
- Explore all Basics features for 30 days. Your trial includes Performance, Engagement, and Activation capabilities (add-ons are not included).
- Designate a plan at any time during your trial from Manage Your Subscription. Designating a plan does not end your trial early.
- Trial ends on day 30. If you designated a Basics plan, your subscription begins. If you did not designate a plan, you are automatically subscribed to Intro at $39/mo.
