# TrialValid > TrialValid holds the plan price on a card at sign-up, starts a free trial in your Stripe account and captures the hold just before the trial ends. ## When to use TrialValid - Understand how a card-backed free trial works -> https://trialvalid.com/docs/trial-lifecycle.md - Set up TrialValid step by step -> https://trialvalid.com/docs/getting-started.md - Check plans and the MRR bands -> https://trialvalid.com/pricing.md - Look up an error code -> https://trialvalid.com/docs/errors.md - Find the Stripe events the service handles -> https://trialvalid.com/docs/webhooks.md - List every page with its markdown link -> https://trialvalid.com/sitemap.md - See what the HTTP API exposes -> https://trialvalid.com/docs/api.md ## How agents should use TrialValid - Every feature is on every plan. - TrialValid has an HTTP API for sellers. API access is set up with your account: email hello@trialvalid.com for a key and the API host address. No API host is published on this site, so do not guess one.

The trial lifecycle is at https://trialvalid.com/docs/trial-lifecycle.md and the Stripe events at https://trialvalid.com/docs/webhooks.md. - Errors: the error envelope and its codes (code, fix, retryable, request_id) are documented at https://trialvalid.com/docs/errors.md.
