Every new business in stub starts with 14 days on Steady Startup, free. No card, no commitment — you get the paid plan to try properly, and if you decide against it nothing happens to your books.
What you get
Steady Startup for a fortnight: live bank feeds, importing from files, the chart of accounts and opening balances, management reports, the General Ledger and asset register, bills and purchase orders, multiple currencies, files, tags and up to 3 team members.
No card up front
stub doesn't ask for a card to start a trial, so there is nothing to cancel. The trial simply ends.
What happens when it ends
If you haven't picked a plan, your business moves to Sneaky Side Hustle — free, forever.
Nothing is deleted. Your invoices, bills, transactions, customers, suppliers and reports all stay exactly where they are. The paid features lock, and they unlock again the moment you pick a plan.
Picking a plan during the trial
While the trial is running, Settings → Billing shows all four plans. Click the one you want. Once you've picked, you're subscribed — the trial still runs its course, and your first payment happens when it does.
If you already picked a plan during the trial
Then you aren't dropping to anything — you're on that plan, and stub will charge you at the end of the trial. Your plan card shows the plan, the price and any discount you're on. If you change your mind before then, change plan or cancel the ordinary way.
