Best SaaS Free Trials in 2026: 22 Tools Compared

HubSpot's trial is the safest on this list. You get 14 days of paid Sales Hub or Marketing Hub features without entering a card, and nothing is charged at the end. Your contacts, deals and emails stay in HubSpot's free CRM, which has no time limit.

Use the trial to test sequences, quotes and reporting on your real pipeline. If you do not need them, you simply keep the free CRM.

Who it suits: small sales teams and founders replacing a spreadsheet.

Salesforce Starter Suite combines sales, service and email marketing in one product, and the free trial lasts 30 days without a credit card. It does not convert automatically, so you choose to buy at the end. The trial page was also advertising a first-year discount when we checked.

Who it suits: small businesses that expect to grow into the full Salesforce platform.

Pipedrive's pricing page advertises a 14-day free trial with no commitment and no card needed. Its drag-and-drop pipeline is quicker to learn than Salesforce or HubSpot. There is no free plan, so when the trial ends you pay or leave. Export your deals first.

Who it suits: small sales teams that want a simple pipeline without the CRM bloat.

Zendesk gives 14 days to try its help desk with no card, and support can extend the trial if you need more time. When we checked, the cheapest plan was Support Team at $19 an agent a month billed annually, with Suite plans from $55.

Who it suits: growing support teams that have outgrown a shared inbox.

Intercom's 14-day trial includes its Fin AI agent, which answers customer questions on its own. Pricing has two parts: seats ($29, $85 or $132 a month billed annually) plus $0.99 for every conversation Fin resolves. The trial is the best way to see how many resolutions you would actually pay for.

Who it suits: startups and SaaS companies that want AI to handle routine support.

Semrush gives 7 days of full access, but you need a card and it bills the first month automatically if you do not cancel. Plans were restructured around "SEO + AI search" when we checked, starting at $139 a month. Ahrefs, its main rival, has no free trial at all.

Plan your keyword research and audits before you start, then cancel on day five or six. Semrush has also offered a 7-day money-back guarantee on new subscriptions, so check the refund terms at checkout.

Who it suits: marketers who need a deep SEO audit or competitor research in one burst.

monday.com lets you start a 14-day trial of its paid plans without a card. Paid plans are sold in seat bundles starting at three, so a two-person team pays for three. If you do not upgrade, you can stay on the free plan for up to two seats.

Who it suits: small teams that want colorful, flexible boards for projects, CRM or content calendars.

Asana's 30-day trial is twice as long as most project tools, and it needs no card. When it ends, your workspace moves to the free Personal plan (for up to 2 people) rather than locking, so nothing is lost.

Who it suits: teams that want timelines, goals and workload views before committing.

Microsoft gives one month of Business Standard, which includes desktop Word, Excel and PowerPoint, Teams, and email on your own domain. You need a card, and the trial converts automatically, by default into an annual commitment. Turn off recurring billing in the admin center right after signing up if you are unsure.

Who it suits: small businesses that live in Office files and want business email.

Xero's 30-day trial needs no card and includes every feature. After it ends, your organization becomes read-only until you subscribe, so you can still see your data. Xero sometimes runs a steep discount for the first months instead of a trial, so check the pricing page before signing up.

Who it suits: freelancers and small businesses that want unlimited users in their accounting tool.

New Calendly accounts get a 14-day trial of paid features, then fall back to the free plan with one event type. No card is needed. The trial is useful to test routing forms, round-robin scheduling and CRM integrations.

Who it suits: consultants, recruiters and sales teams that book many meetings.

Vercel's free Hobby plan is for personal, non-commercial projects. A business site needs Pro, and the 14-day trial lets you test team features, more build minutes and higher limits first. Pro includes $20 of usage credit a month; watch the usage dashboard so a traffic spike does not surprise you.

Who it suits: developers and small teams shipping commercial Next.js or frontend sites.
