# Is there a free version of Storage Studio?

There's no free plan beyond the 15-day trial: after that, a Monthly, Annual or Lifetime plan keeps the features running. Even without one, everything you moved keeps working, and Emergency Space is never behind a licence prompt for when your Mac is critically low.

Campaigns sometimes offer free extensions or free subscription windows to eligible trial users — see [free offers](https://storagestudio.us/faq/licensing-payments/what-is-claim-a-free-offer).
