### Step 3: Choose Billing Frequency

Before starting your trial, decide whether you prefer monthly or annual billing after your trial ends:

1. Toggle the "Pay yearly" switch to ON for annual billing (\$192.00/year, equivalent to \$16.00/month)
2. Leave the toggle OFF for monthly billing (\$20.00/month)

Remember, you won't be charged until after your 90-day free trial ends, and you can change your billing frequency or cancel anytime during the trial.

Click the "Start Your Free 3-Month Trial" button to proceed. You'll be redirected to Stripe's secure checkout page.

## Troubleshooting

### Payment Failed

If your payment method fails at renewal time:

1. You'll receive an email notification about the failed payment
2. Stripe will automatically make several retry attempts over the next few days
3. You can update your payment method at any time through the "Manage Subscription" button

Pro features will remain accessible during the initial retry period. If payment continues to fail after multiple attempts, your subscription will be cancelled automatically.
