Your General Validation plan belongs to your Organization. Every Organization starts on a free trial, and an Owner buys a plan from Billing, either through Microsoft Marketplace (shown in the app as Azure Marketplace) or directly through Stripe. Subscription details and billing actions are available only to Owners; Contributors and Readers see the current plan and its usage. See Sign-in and team access for roles.

Free trial

The trial starts when you activate your Organization by naming it and clicking Start 7-day trial. It lasts seven days, allows up to five active Table Pairs, and needs no credit card. While it runs, Billing shows Free trial active, the plan Free trial, and the date under Trial ends. When the trial ends, Billing shows Free trial ended. You keep access to the app: members can still sign in, your Table Pairs, Tests, Runs, and Results stay readable, and a Run that already started can finish and record its Result. Creating a Table Pair or starting a new Run needs an active plan and otherwise fails with Active entitlement required. Trial expiry does not delete your Organization, its configuration, or any resource in your Fabric tenant. Buying a plan during the trial does not restart it. Eligible subscription access replaces the trial after provider confirmation. Self-service Stripe Checkout requires a paid invoice; a signed invoiced order can start service under agreed payment terms. If a subscription ends, only the remainder of the original unexpired trial can apply. To discuss a trial extension, contact support@generalvalidation.com.

Plans

Plans are sized by active Table Pairs. A Table Pair counts toward your limit while it is active; archived pairs do not. Deleting a Table Pair archives it, which frees the slot and keeps its Tests, Runs, and Results. An archived pair cannot receive new Tests or Runs, though a Run already in flight finishes and imports its Result. For current pricing, see the pricing page and the Microsoft Marketplace listing, and review the price shown at checkout before you buy. A private offer can have a different agreed price. Plans cover General Validation only: Runs use your existing Fabric capacity, which General Validation does not purchase or resize. An Organization uses one billing provider for its subscription. Marketplace subscriptions are managed through Microsoft. Direct subscriptions are managed through Stripe; contact support for plan changes and cancellation under your agreement. Coordinate a provider change with support before buying again. For more than 50 Table Pairs or custom terms, contact support@generalvalidation.com about an enterprise agreement; see Enterprise annual agreements.

Usage and downgrades

Billing shows your Current plan with the Plan name, Table Pairs as the number used out of the plan limit, and Trial ends or Access ends. Owners also see the Subscription card and available purchase or management actions. Access follows the confirmed subscription and agreed payment terms. Creating a Table Pair at the limit fails with Table Pair limit reached; the Table Pairs page says how many Table Pairs your plan supports and links to View plan and Table Pair usage. Delete a Table Pair you no longer need to archive it and free the slot, or ask an Owner to change the plan. A downgrade keeps every existing Table Pair and its Results, and you can still run the pairs you have. Billing then notes that your Organization is above the plan’s Table Pair limit and that existing Table Pairs are preserved; creating a new pair resumes once the active count is below the new limit. Moving to a larger plan changes only the limit; your Table Pairs, Tests, Runs, and Results stay in place.
