Free trial
The Data Productivity Cloud is a single platform for user administration, projects, billing, subscription management, observability, and other administration activities. By default, newly registered Data Productivity Cloud accounts start the 14-day free trial, where 500 complimentary Matillion Credits are allocated for use across the Data Productivity Cloud and Matillion ETL.
The free trial grants account-wide access to the full Enterprise edition offering.
The complimentary credits will expire after 14 days, after which, you will need to upgrade to a paid subscription on an edition that suits your needs.
Note
If your Credit Based Trial period comes to an end before you upgrade, your subscription will either expire or automatically roll over onto the Pay-Go subscription plan. This will depend upon whether payment details have been entered and saved to your account. For more information, read Marketplace subscriptions, and Payment and invoicing, respectively.

After your trial ends
After your free trial ends, your Data Productivity Cloud configuration will be retained for a short period of time; this includes any projects, branches, and authentications to third-party services you created during this period. However, the following changes will take effect from the moment your trial ends:
- If you started your trial from a marketplace, you'll roll on to Pay-Go at the end of your trial.
- If you've added payment details during your trial, you'll roll on to Pay-Go at the end of your trial.
- When your trial expires, your agent will be suspended, and you won't be able to run any pipelines until a subscription is applied.
- You'll be able to log in to the Data Productivity Cloud, but won't be able to access core services, such as Designer.
Note
For more information about Pay-Go, and the other subscription plans, read Appendix: Subscription payment information.
If you don't want to lose any of these features, and continue using the Data Productivity cloud, upgrade to a paid subscription on an edition that suits your needs.
