Try Paperpile for free

To use Paperpile, you need a subscription. However, you can test Paperpile for free for 30 days. Here are common questions about Paperpile’s free trial.

How can I start my trial?

Simply sign up for Paperpile at paperpile.com

How long is the trial?

The trial lasts 30 days. You can always check how many days are left in your trial in Settings > Billing.

What features are included in the trial? Is the trial different from the full version?

The trial includes all features of Paperpile without any restrictions.

What happens after your trial has expired?

Once your trial expires, you cannot access Paperpile anymore. To continue using Paperpile, you need a subscription, see Subscribe to Paperpile. Alternatively, you can join a team or organization with a subscription, see Use Paperpile with the subscription of your team or organization.

Will I lose access to my data if my trial has expired?

Even after your trial expires, you will retain access to the Settings area and can export your reference data from there in common formats such as BibTeX, RIS, CSV, and JSON.

Additionally, all citations and bibliographies in documents you have written with Google Docs and Word will remain intact.

Note: To export PDFs and other files, they need to be synced to Google Drive, see Sync with Google Drive.

Do you require a credit card? Do I get charged if I don’t cancel my trial on time?

No! If you do not choose to subscribe after your trial ends, you don’t need to cancel anything, and you will not be charged.

Can I extend my trial?

30 days is a fair period to find out if Paperpile is the right product for you. In general, we do not extend or pause trials.

However, if you signed up and then did not have time to test it in your first 30 days or you want to give it another try after a while, we can extend trials for up to 2 weeks. Please reach out to us via the in-app chat or support@paperpile.com if you have questions about that.

How do trials work for teams?

• If you create a team during your trial, all members will have access to Paperpile while the owner of the team has an active trial.
• Once the owner’s trial expires without a subscription, members will lose access through the team owner’s trial.
• However, team members also get their personal 30-day trial. They will keep access until either the team owner’s or their own trial expires, whichever comes last.
