Can creators offer a free trial on subscriptions?

Last reviewed Wed May 27 2026 00:00:00 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

Short answer: No - free trials on subscriptions are not available at launch. This feature is not part of the initial release of Vizno's subscription system, so creators cannot currently attach a trial period (of any length) to a subscription tier.

What creators can do instead

While free trials are not supported, creators still have options for letting readers sample their work before committing to a subscription. You can mark individual episodes or chapters as free-to-read, allowing readers to experience your story before subscribing. This effectively acts as a hand-curated preview without requiring a formal trial mechanism.

When free trials might become available

Free trials are a known feature request and may be introduced in a future update. No timeline has been confirmed yet. When trial support does launch, it may allow creators to offer a set number of trial days on a subscription tier. Check back here for updates as the platform evolves.

What this means for readers

Readers cannot currently start a subscription and cancel within a trial window at no charge. If you subscribe to a creator's tier and later change your mind, the standard refund policy applies instead.
