# Will I be charged when my free offer ends?

No. A free offer doesn't take a card, so nothing is charged automatically. When a free subscription window ends, Storage Studio returns to the trial-ended state, and you choose whether to buy a plan.

Inner Circle founder offers are different only in that you get a one-click payment link to continue at your founder price — you still decide.
