Trial spaces

NOTE: Trial spaces are only available for customers on our Premium plan.

A trial space is a space that you can use to try out new projects, free of charge. Trial spaces are intended for non-production development and testing purposes only.

NOTE: A trial space is available for 30 days after creation. Once the 30 days are over, you must buy a subscription plan for this space to continue using it. Otherwise, it will become read-only. You can also buy the subscription plan later on, after the trial has ended, if you want to revisit and publish the trial space.

To create a trial space:

  1. Log in to the Contentful web app. 

  2. In the top-left corner, select the organization name and click Organization settings & subscriptions. The Subscription overview page is displayed with a list of the space(s) and space licenses belonging to your organization.

  3. Navigate to the Spaces tab and click Trial a space in the top right.

  4. Choose a space type, and click Continue.

  5. Enter your space details, and click Continue.

  6. Click Confirm and create. Your trial space is created.

After the trial space is created, you can start adding content. A countdown will be displayed in the navigation bar, so you can see how much time is left before the space is set to read-only.
