Trying a plan or feature upgrade

Plan requirement

Subscription Any plan
Access Admin

Trying something before buying it. Useful, and only if you decide in advance what would make it a yes.

Start a trial

  1. Open Admin Center, then Account, then Billing, then Subscription.
  2. Start the trial of the plan or feature.
  3. Note the end date in a calendar.
  4. Configure it and put it in front of real work.
  5. Decide before the date arrives.

Write down the question first

"Does intelligent triage label our tickets accurately enough to route on" is a question a trial can answer. "Let us try AI" is not, and it ends with somebody saying it was interesting.

Say what would make it a yes

A number, decided beforehand. Accurate on eight out of ten tickets. Ten minutes a day saved per agent. Without that, the decision comes down to who liked it, which is not a decision.

Use it on real work

A feature tried on test tickets tells you almost nothing. Put it in front of actual customers, on a narrow scope, or you are evaluating a demo.

Give it enough time

Most things look confusing in week one and useful in week three. Judging a trial after two days measures the interface, not the feature.

Know what happens at the end

Whether it stops, or converts to a paid subscription. That is worth knowing on day one rather than discovering on the invoice.

Talk to us before deciding

What a feature is worth depends on how you work. Ask pluscloud support and we will help you judge it against your own situation.
