We list each tool's current free-trial and free-plan options for India, including whether a card is required, the trial length, and the price after it ends. Facts we can't confirm are shown as "Unknown" rather than guessed.
Each offer card shows a "No card needed" or "Card / UPI needed" chip. When we haven't confirmed it, it shows "Card: unknown" — we never assume.
Where known, we show the exact renewal price in ₹ so there are no surprises. Always cancel before the trial ends if you don't want to be charged.
