Can't create more than 3 projects during the trial
SupaHost's 7-day free trial allows up to 3 projects, and branches count toward it. How to activate your plan early to get your full project allowance.
What you see
You click New project and get a dialog instead of the project form:
Your free trial includes 3 projects and you’re using them all.
The Projects tile on Dashboard → Usage & billing says "Trial limit · activate your plan for more", and the banner at the top of the dashboard shows how many trial days are left.
Why it happens
Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial. The trial gives you the plan's features, but caps you at 3 projects until the paid plan starts. Your full allowance (5 on Builder, 15 on Pro, 30 on Business) unlocks when the trial ends or when you activate the plan yourself.
Branches are projects too. On Pro and Business, each branch you create counts toward the 3.
How to fix it
You have two options.
Activate your plan now
- Use the dialog that opened, or click Activate plan now in the trial banner or on Dashboard → Usage & billing.
- Check the amount shown. Activating ends the trial today and charges the plan price to your card on file (plus VAT or sales tax where it applies).
- Click Activate and pay.
Your projects keep running without interruption, and you can create more right away. Projects beyond your plan's allowance are $3/mo each.
Only the instance owner can activate the plan. Team members see the dialog with a Close button.
Stay in the trial
Free up a slot instead:
- Delete a branch you no longer need from the project's Branches tab.
- Delete a test project from its Settings tab (Delete project). Deleting stops the project and archives its database, so export anything you want to keep first from the Backups tab.
On SupaHost
- A card is required to start the trial. If you don't cancel, it's charged when the trial ends, and the project limit lifts then.
- Several small apps can share one instance, so most people find 3 projects enough to test with: for example, your app, a staging copy and a scratch project.
- The trial covers the plan you picked. Changing plans is covered in Changing plans.
