v1.0.3
Version 1.0.3 introduces the Free trial as its own plan on tnc-sh — not a time-limited discount on paid tiers. Eligible GitHub accounts can start a 3-day, no-credit-card trial from the landing page, pricing flow, or dashboard banner and receive a subscription key immediately, then deploy Odoo to managed production infrastructure.
Highlights
- Dedicated Free trial plan: 3 days, no credit card, no Stripe checkout — subscription key issued on activation.
- One project, production branch only, one managed installation, and 25 AI credits to explore the project assistant.
- Start from the hero CTA, Buy a subscription key pricing card, or the in-dashboard Activate free trial banner.
- Full free trial journey documentation from eligibility through day 3 and upgrading to a paid plan.
Free trial plan
The trial is a separate plan in trialing status — use it to validate your repo and production deploy loop before purchasing Starter, Team, Business, or Scale.
- Instant activation via
POST /billing/trial/start— no payment method and no Stripe session. - 7 calendar days from activation; trial is offered once per GitHub identity.
- Single subscription key bound to one project; production environment only (no dev or staging lanes).
- 25 AI credits granted at activation for the project AI assistant on your production branch.
Where to start
- Landing hero Start free trial with GitHub for signed-out visitors; eligibility confirmed after OAuth.
- Free trial plan strip on the subscription-key pricing page when your account qualifies.
- Dashboard banner Activate your free trial for signed-in users without an existing key.
- Activation panel copies your key once; keys also appear under Settings → Purchased keys while unbound.
Documentation and notifications
- New Free trial journey guide: eligibility, checkout-free activation, first deploy, and before/after day 3.
- Email notification when your trial activates with key details and trial window.
- Pricing and hero copy clarify that Odoo software licenses are separate from tnc-sh hosting.
After the trial
- Purchase a paid subscription key before day 3 to keep running with staging, dev branches, and renewals.
- Trial ends automatically — the free plan does not auto-convert to a paid tier.
- Returning customers see paid plans with Buy now; the free trial card is hidden when ineligible.
