How to Try Shaxpir Pro, Free for a Day

Starting with the release of Shaxpir 5.0 in April 2025, we’re pushing out new Pro features every month. The 5.0 release included exclusive Pro features like Linguistic Highlighting and the Emotional Journey visualization. The 5.1 release introduced the new Microsoft Word (DOCX) Import feature.

And who knows what future releases will bring?!

Every new user gets enrolled in a seven-day free trial of Shaxpir Pro. But after that, if they don’t submit their payment details, their accounts are automatically downgraded to Shaxpir Free.

With all these new features coming out, we wanted to give our Shaxpir Free users the chance to try out the new capabilities when they launch, so that they’ll be enticed to upgrade!

So now we’re launching a new feature called One Day Trial. Here’s how it works:

As a Shaxpir Free user, whenever you attempt to use an exclusive Shaxpir Pro feature in the app, you’ll see a popup dialog like this:

This dialog lets you know that the feature you’re trying to use is only available to Shaxpir Pro users. It gives you a quick UPGRADE button you can use if you want to become a paid subscriber. But it also gives you a button to START A ONE DAY TRIAL.

If you click on that One Day Trial button, you’ll see a new message in the application’s top-bar, saying “you are trying Shaxpir 5 Pro free for a day, you have 24 hours remaining in your trial.”

From that point, you enter into a 24-hour countdown. During the trial, you have unrestricted access to all the Shaxpir Pro features (not just the ones launched in this month’s release). When the countdown reaches zero, your account will return to your ordinary Shaxpir Free status, and the pro-level features will be blocked.

If you try to access those features again, you’ll see the same dialog again, but this time it will let you know that you just used up your One Day Trial opportunity yesterday, and you won’t be able to use it again until the next month.

We suspect you’ll be so enamored with the new features that you’ll upgrade immediately to a paid Shaxpir Pro plan! It’s only $12.99 a month, after all. And you can an even better deal — $10 a month — if you subscribe with annual billing ($120, paid upfront).

But most importantly, we want to make sure our cherished Shaxpir Free users get an occasional opportunity to kick the tires on all the newest, coolest features we’re launching. And if you can squeak by with only using those features on one day out of the month, that’s okay too!
