GitKraken offers trial access to paid features so individual developers and teams can evaluate the platform before purchasing. Two trial types are available: a 14-day individual Pro trial and a 30-day multi-user Business trial. Each trial type has different eligibility, scope, and duration.

GitKraken offers two types of trials:
| 14-Day Individual Trial | 30-Day Business Trial | |
|---|---|---|
| Duration | 14 days | 30 days |
| Products | GitKraken Desktop or GitLens (independent per app) | All GitKraken products |
| Features included | Pro features in the respective app | Full platform: multi-user management, SSO, Workspaces |
| Seats | 1 (individual) | Multiple users with license management |
| How to start | Log into GitKraken Desktop or GitLens for the first time | Add one or more users at gitkraken.dev/users |
| Eligibility | One trial per product per account | One Business trial per user; Owners cannot restart after expiry |
Choose the 14-day trial when you want to evaluate Pro features in GitKraken Desktop or GitLens individually before purchasing.

To compare plan features, visit the GitKraken pricing page.
Start a 14-day trial
Both GitKraken Desktop and GitLens offer a 14-day trial. You can start a trial by logging into the respective app with your GitKraken account for the first time.
Each trial is independent, and so starting a trial in one product does not activate it for the other.
Start a Business trial
- Visit gitkraken.dev
- Log in using your GitKraken account
- Navigate to Users
- Add one or more users
- Once users are added, the organization-wide trial begins
Business trials include:
- 30 days of full access
- Support for multiple users and license management
- SSO setup and workspace configuration
Each user can only join one Business trial. Owners can’t start another Business trial after the first one ends.
