Free trial journey

First-time visitors evaluating tnc-sh.cloud and new GitHub accounts who have not purchased or trialed before.

Walk through eligibility, the 3-day no-credit-card trial, subscription key activation, your first deploy, and what happens when the trial ends.

The free trial is a separate plan — not a discount on paid tiers. Eligible GitHub accounts start it from the marketing site in-app (no Stripe checkout or card required), key activation, and the deploy wizard.
