AI Emaily's 7-Day Free Trial: What's Included, and What Happens After

If you're looking for "AI Emaily's free plan," the honest answer as of this writing is that there isn't one on the live pricing page. A free tier exists in the product's plan configuration — one connected account, a small monthly AI-credit allowance — but it's currently unlisted from the public site, and the self-serve signup flow doesn't route to it. The entry point you'll actually hit at aiemaily.com/pricing is a 7-day free trial on Pro or Autopilot.

That's a deliberate distinction, not a rounding error, and it matters because a trial and a free plan behave differently in ways that affect your card, your calendar, and what happens if you forget about the tool for a week. This post is about the thing you can actually sign up for right now: what the 7-day trial includes, what it requires before you can start it, and exactly what happens on the day it ends.

Nothing here is permanent framing — a hidden plan in the codebase is exactly that, hidden "for now," and pricing pages change. If a free plan becomes selectable again, or the trial terms shift, /pricing is the source of truth and this post is dated at the top so you can tell whether it's still current.

Criteria that actually matter on an AI email trial#

Most trial write-ups repeat the marketing bullet points — "full access," "no obligation" — without answering the four things that actually determine whether starting a trial is a safe thing to do with your inbox and your card. Check these before you connect a mailbox anywhere, not just here.

• Card required or not: whether starting the trial means giving a payment method before you've used the product, or after. This is the single biggest difference between a trial and a genuinely free tier, and it's worth confirming in writing rather than assuming.
• Full product or capped preview: whether the trial runs the same AI model access, autonomy modes, and account limits as a paying customer on that plan, or a trimmed version designed to make the paid tier look better by contrast.
• What happens automatically on day eight: whether the trial simply expires and asks you to pick a plan, or converts to a paid subscription on its own unless you cancel first. That distinction decides whether a forgotten trial costs you money.
• What canceling actually does to your data: whether canceling inside the trial window deletes your connected accounts and drafts immediately, or just stops billing and leaves you a window to reconnect. Nobody checks this until they need it.

Score AI Emaily's trial against those four — not against the feature list — and you get a clearer picture than any pricing-page bullet point gives you. The rest of this post answers each one directly, with the specific numbers as they stand today.

What the 7-day trial actually includes#

The trial isn't a demo account with a countdown bolted on top of a lighter product — it runs the plan you pick, in full, for seven days. Choose Pro at signup and you get Pro: the complete client across every supported provider (Gmail, Outlook, iCloud, Yahoo, IMAP), Copilot mode with approval-before-send and undo, the Living Brief, client context and variables, and the plan's monthly AI-credit pool. Choose Autopilot and you additionally get Autopilot mode itself — the agent sending inside rules you define, without a per-item approval — plus on-device AI, bring-your-own-key, and multi-model support from day one of the trial, not after you convert.

That's a meaningfully different shape than a trial that shows you a locked "upgrade to unlock" button on the feature you're actually there to evaluate. If you're trialing to answer the question "does Autopilot actually behave the way the product page says," Autopilot access during the trial is the whole point — a Pro trial won't answer that question for you, because Autopilot isn't part of Pro at any point, trial or paid.

The AI-credit allowance during the trial matches the plan's normal monthly pool as published on /pricing — 500 credits on Pro, 1,000 on Autopilot at the time of writing. A credit covers a thread summary at 0.5, a drafted reply at 1, or a fully autonomous Autopilot reply at 2, so the pool is meant to cover a real week of use, not a handful of test sends. If you're evaluating heavy daily volume, budget against that number rather than assuming it's unlimited during the trial — it isn't, unless you bring your own model key.

Does the trial require a credit card#

Yes. Starting the Pro or Autopilot trial captures a payment method up front through Stripe Checkout before the account is created — the checkout is processed first, at $0 charged that day, and the resulting paid session is what your signup attaches to. There is no card-free way to run the 7-day trial on either plan as the signup flow is built today.

This is worth stating plainly because a lot of "is it free" searches are really asking "can I try this without giving anyone my card," and for AI Emaily's current self-serve flow the answer to that narrower question is no. If a genuinely card-free trial is a hard requirement, this isn't the product to start with right now — say so plainly rather than let someone discover it after they've already typed in a card number.

The upside of the card-first design is what it buys you during the seven days: full product access, not a stripped preview, because the checkout already happened. The trade is that the clock starts the moment you're charged $0, and it keeps running whether or not you log in that week.

Pro trial vs Autopilot trial, scored on what changes#

Both trials run seven days and both capture a card up front. What differs is which autonomy mode you get to actually test, and what the plan converts to afterward. Figures are current as of July 2026 — confirm the live numbers on /pricing before you start either trial, since plan pricing is the kind of fact that changes without a blog post catching up.

Team isn't in that table because Team doesn't run a self-serve trial the same way — its signup button reads "Start Team," not "Start 7-day free trial," and it requires a minimum of three seats before checkout starts. If your actual evaluation question is about shared inboxes, delegation, or per-seat admin controls, budget for that as a direct Team purchase or a sales conversation rather than expecting a no-commitment week to test it, and confirm the current minimum-seat requirement on /pricing before you commit.

Two worked examples: who should trial which plan#

The right trial depends on which autonomy mode you're actually trying to validate, so here are two readers who'd pick differently even though both are evaluating AI Emaily for the first time.

The second reader needs the Autopilot trial specifically — testing Pro here would answer a different question than the one they're actually asking.

What happens after 7 days#

If you cancel inside the trial window — from the billing portal, any time in those seven days — you aren't charged, full stop. If you don't cancel, the trial converts automatically to the plan's normal price at the end of day seven: $17.99/mo billed annually for Pro (or $19.99 monthly), $29.99/mo billed annually for Autopilot (or $34.99 monthly). There's no separate confirmation step between the trial ending and the first real charge — the trial is designed to convert by default, not to lapse into nothing.

That default-to-convert shape is common across this category and isn't unique to AI Emaily, but it's exactly why the card-required question above matters: plan around the day-seven date the same way you'd plan around any subscription trial, and set a reminder if you're not sure yet.

If you do convert and later decide it isn't right, paid plans separately carry a 14-day money-back guarantee from the date of a charge — that's a different mechanism than the trial cancellation window, and it applies after you've been billed, not instead of canceling the trial itself. Confirm the current refund terms on /pricing or with support before relying on the exact number, since guarantee terms are the kind of detail worth checking firsthand.

Why there's no card-free entry point right now#

It's worth naming this plainly rather than leaving it implied: the product does have a Free plan configured — one connected account, a small monthly credit allowance, full Manual and Copilot mode with the same approval-before-send and undo as every paid tier. It's marked hidden in the plan configuration with a comment reading "for now," which means the team building it hasn't ruled out bringing it back, but it also isn't a promise of when or whether that happens.

We won't guess at the reasoning here beyond what's visible — a hidden plan in a codebase doesn't come with a public rationale, and inventing one would be worse than just saying we don't know. What's certain is the current state: as of this writing, the self-serve path to using AI Emaily is the 7-day trial, card required, on Pro or Autopilot. If that changes, the honest move is to update this post, not to keep describing a free plan that isn't live.

What hasn't changed regardless of which entry point is live: approval-before-send, undo, and the audit log aren't features you pay more to unlock. They run identically on the trial, on Pro, and on Autopilot — the only thing capacity buys is accounts, seats, and which autonomy mode is available, never the safety rail itself.

If your account is on Workspace or Microsoft 365#

Whether your account connects at all during the trial can depend on a setting you don't control, and it's worth checking before you start the clock rather than after. Google Workspace admins choose, per app, whether third-party OAuth apps are Trusted, given Limited access, scoped to Specific Google data, or Blocked outright — and if the org has restricted unconfigured apps, a user can't connect AI Emaily until an admin approves it, per Google's own Workspace admin documentation.

Microsoft 365 works on the same principle through Microsoft Entra app consent policies, documented in Microsoft Learn: depending on tenant settings, a user connecting a third-party mail client may be able to consent themselves, or the request may route to an admin for approval first.

This matters more during a 7-day trial than it would on an ongoing plan, because every day spent waiting on an admin approval is a day taken out of a fixed window. If you're on a managed Workspace or Microsoft 365 account, ask your admin before you start the trial, not after day three when the clock is already half gone.

Red flags that mean the trial isn't the right test#

None of these mean the trial is broken — they mean the seven-day, card-required shape isn't the right way to answer your specific question, and it's worth knowing that before you start it.

• You specifically need to evaluate without giving a card. The current trial can't do that — it captures payment at signup. That's a real constraint, not a technicality, and it's worth ruling out early rather than after you've entered a card number.
• You're evaluating for a shared team inbox. Team isn't part of the self-serve trial flow and requires a 3-seat minimum at checkout — plan for that as a direct purchase or a sales conversation, not a no-commitment week.
• You need more than seven days to judge whether the agent's triage judgment holds up. A single week, especially a quiet one, rarely represents a real workload — plan the trial around your busiest week if you can choose when to start it.
• You're on a managed Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 account and haven't checked with an admin. An approval delay eats directly into a fixed trial window.
• You're trying to test Autopilot specifically but signed up for the Pro trial. Pro's trial never includes Autopilot mode — you'll need to start over on the Autopilot trial to actually see it.

What we'd pick and why#

We build AI Emaily, so take this with that framing in mind and check it against your own situation rather than the label on the button.

If you're a solo user testing whether Copilot's approval-before-send actually stops the agent from sending anything without you, the Pro trial answers that question cleanly in a week, and it costs nothing if you cancel before day seven. If the question is specifically about Autopilot's unattended sending inside rules, start the Autopilot trial instead — testing Pro won't show you the feature you're actually there to see.

We won't pretend the card requirement is a small detail. If a card-free evaluation is the actual requirement, the honest answer is that AI Emaily's current signup doesn't offer one, and that's worth knowing before you start rather than after. Some competitors in this category run the same card-required trial shape; others don't publish their card policy at all, which isn't the same as not requiring one — check before you assume.

One scope note before the FAQ: this post is about our own trial's terms, not a claim that a 7-day card-required trial is the right shape for every reader. If your actual question is broader — whether any AI email tool currently offers a genuinely free, card-free tier — that's a different comparison, and the honest answer as of this writing points mostly at what your email provider already gives away, not at any dedicated AI email agent, ours included.
