Every Deep Violet and Ultraviolet feature unlocks a 30-day free trial on first use. No credit card. One-shot per feature: once your 30 days end, the feature locks until you upgrade.

​
How it activates

Implicitly. The first time your org touches a tier-gated feature (e.g. installing a Vault credential broker integration, configuring an allow_with_redact response handler), the TrialGate middleware activates the trial as a side effect. A toast banner confirms the trial start; the dashboard widget in the upper-right shows days remaining on your shortest trial.

​
Two-layer check

For every gated request, TrialGate runs:
  1. Base tier — does the org’s current tier permit the feature? If yes, returns paid.
  2. Trial overlay — is there an active, unexpired trial row for the (org, feature) pair? If yes, returns trial_active. If a row exists but is expired, returns locked_after_expired. If no row exists, inserts one and returns trial_just_started.

​
One-shot rule

Enforced at the storage layer with a UNIQUE constraint on (organization_id, feature_id). You cannot re-trial a feature; once expired, the only way back is upgrading.

​
What happens at expiry

The nightly tier-reconciliation cron transitions active rows past their expires_at to either expired_no_upgrade (org still on lower tier) or expired_to_purchase (org upgraded during the trial). Enforcement reverts to the Violet equivalent — usually deny or deny_with_reroute.

See /settings/trials for every (org, feature) trial in three sections: active, expired without upgrade, converted to purchase.
