We are enhancing Boards experience and updating our Free plan as of August 2024. Here's everything you need to know.
The Business Plan gets new features
Starting this August, you will enjoy even more powerful capabilities. You will continue to receive all premium features and gain access to new, game-changing ones that we will be rolling out in the next few months, such as:
- Manage leads and form submissions using a centralized spreadsheet (This August)
- Collect payments with the Checkout pages
- Strengthen your brand with stunning, professional page templates
And more! And all of this for the same price.
Free plan update
At the beginning of August, you will enjoy a 14-day free trial (no payment required) with access to all premium features, including unlimited Boards, unlimited keyboard shares, and all the premium features that make selling simple.
After the trial ends, you will need to upgrade to the Business Plan to continue utilizing the full Boards experience. If you decide to stay with the Free Plan, you will be able to view and share content only from one shared Board as well as sponsored Boards.
Please note that personal Boards are not included in the Boards that can stay active in the free version.
New users who join Boards after the plan update will receive a 15-day trial of all premium features.
FAQ
1. What will be included in the Free Plan after the plans update?
The Free plan will allow you to view and share content from one shared Board as well as Sponsored Boards.
- A Shared Board is a Board you received from your team leader or any other person in your network.
- A Sponsored Board is usually a Brand Official Board. If your company doesn’t have one, you are invited to share with them the opportunity to have an Official Board for their sellers.
Nevertheless, if you are currently using the Free version, you will receive a 14-day trial with all the premium features after the plans update (at the beginning of August).
Please note that personal Boards are not included in the Boards that can stay active in the free version.
2. Can I choose which Board remains active if I don't upgrade?
After your 14-day trial ends, you will be able to choose which Shared Board you want to keep as your active Board for viewing and sharing content. We recommend choosing your team’s Board.
Please note that the Free version doesn’t include self owned Boards. To use your own Boards, you will need to upgrade.
3. Where will my content go if I don't upgrade?
All of your content and Boards will remain on your Boards list but with limited functionality. We will keep them for you indefinitely, and you can activate them at any time once you upgrade.
4. I’m Boards Business subscriber. Will this update affect me?
You will enjoy more capabilities and all new features, including:
- Manage leads and form submissions using a centralized spreadsheet (This August)
- Collect payments with the Checkout pages
- Strengthen your brand with stunning, professional page templates
And more! And all of this for the same price.
5. Boards free version: Who is it for?
The Boards free plan is a great start for those who are just getting in direct sales, allowing access to the leader's and team playbook, know-how, and best practices.
6. I’m a team leader. Do my new and existing team members need to pay to access my Board?
New users joining the Boards app after the change takes effect (in August 2024) will receive a 15-day free trial of all premium features and have full access to view and share content from the team Board. If they decide not to upgrade after the trial ends, they will keep the ability to view and share content daily from one shared Board (which can be your team Board) and Sponsored Boards. Additionally, they will continue to receive Board messages sent by you, for all Boards, even those that are not active.
Existing Boards users on the Free plan will receive a 14-day trial of all premium features.
We highly recommend sharing this FAQ page with your team to ensure continuity in access to your team Board.
7. New registrants no longer receive a 30-day free trial?
From August 14th to November 7th, new users enjoyed a 30-day free trial to explore all premium features. Starting November 7th, this trial period has been reduced to 15 days.
