# PerfectScale trial

PerfectScale offers a **free**, **30-day** trial, providing you with valuable insights and actionable recommendations for eliminating waste, saving costs, and improving your environment's stability and resilience.

{% hint style="info" %}
The Trial officially begins only **when the first cluster is onboarded** and not when the account is created, but you'll need to upload your first cluster within a week. 
{% endhint %}

{% endhint %}

## End of Trial

When your Trial is almost over, one of our team members will assess your monthly v**C**PU **C**onsumption **F**orecast (**CCF**) and provide further instructions based on the available [Plans](https://www.perfectscale.io/pricing). 

{% hint style="info" %}
[Learn more](/perfectscale-trial/perfectscale-trial/how-to-find-your-allocated-vcpu.md) about how to retrieve the vCPU consumption.
{% endhint %}

PerfectScale will notify users that the Trial is nearing its end. 

#### CCF < 300 vCPU per month

Once the Trial is completed and assuming the monthly CCF is less than 300 vCPU, the account will be moved to the Free Community plan, and the service will continue uninterrupted.

#### CCF > 300 vCPU per month

If the monthly CCF exceeds 300 vCPU, one of our team members will remind the account owner that the Trial is nearing its end, and since your CCF  is bigger than the free community package allowance (> 300 vCPU per month), your account will be restricted once the Trial ends unless you purchase a license.&#x20;

{% hint style="warning" %}
The data collected during the Trial will be stored for 30 days. After that, the trial data will be deleted for the accounts that haven't migrated to the available [Plan](https://www.perfectscale.io/pricing). To reactivate and regain access to the account, contact  <sales@perfectscale.io>.
