title: 30-day trials
---

Aiven offers a free trial for 30 days to explore the platform, including the [Aiven Console](https://console.aiven.io/), [API](/docs/tools/api), [CLI](/docs/tools/cli), [Aiven Terraform provider](/docs/tools/terraform), and [Aiven Operator for Kubernetes](/docs/tools/kubernetes), and the [Aiven services](https://docs.aiven.io/). You don't need a credit card to sign up.

If you create services on the
[free plan](/docs/platform/concepts/free-plan), they will continue to run alongside your free 30-day trial
without affecting your trial credits. Free plan services also continue
running after the trial has expired.

## Add a payment card

To keep your services running after the trial period,
[add a payment card](/docs/platform/howto/manage-payment-card). Without a payment card, services are automatically powered
down after credits run out, but they can be powered on again after a
card is added.
Services are automatically powered down after the trial ends or your credits run out. To
keep your services running, [add a payment card](/docs/platform/howto/manage-payment-card).
