A free plan, a time-limited trial and a money-back period expose different financial risks. This ledger keeps them separate and dates every eligibility claim.
Verification date: 25 August 2026. Official provider pages were checked while logged out. No offer was redeemed, paid, cancelled or refunded. Availability can vary by route, account, region, currency and later seller changes.
What was rechecked on 1 October 2026?
The official Hostinger India page still advertises a 30-day money-back guarantee. HighLevel still lists a 14-day standard trial and a separate 30-day Bootcamp route; subscription billing starts after the trial unless cancelled, and usage fees can apply during it. AutoAE's licence still restricts free outputs to personal, non-commercial use, with its stated exception for content showcasing AutoAE itself. Its pricing page could not be reliably retrieved, so the old 500-credit allowance below is not reconfirmed. Sider's free-credit FAQ still lists 30 Basic Credits daily, but readable paid prices were unavailable.
This was a public-page check, not a signup, refund test or account-eligibility test. The table below remains the 25 August snapshot; the broader fact-check date has not been reset. Confirm current checkout, cancellation and licence terms before spending.
Historical entry-route ledger
| Product and route | What the official page showed | Expiry or region caveat |
|---|---|---|
| Hostinger India web hosting | Paid purchase with a 30-day money-back guarantee | India page; plan term, renewal and refund exclusions must be checked at checkout |
| HighLevel standard pricing | 14-day trial on the published plan page | Payment and post-trial billing conditions control; usage-based services can create separate charges |
| HighLevel Bootcamp page | 30-day trial tied to the Bootcamp signup route | The page asks for billing information and warns that communication surcharges may apply |
| AutoAE Free | 500 one-time credits, described as five 720p watermarked downloads | Ongoing personal, non-commercial route rather than a time-limited commercial trial |
| Sider free-user FAQ | 30 Basic Credits per day plus separate limited allowances for YouTube, Painter and file/link chat | The public pricing page was not readable in this verification pass; no paid price is claimed here |
The date belongs beside the facts because these rows are a snapshot, not a permanent promise. Open the exact current page before entering payment details.

Experiment 1: hosting refund window
A money-back guarantee requires a purchase, so cap the cash exposure before checkout. Build a disposable site without moving the production domain. Test setup, SSL, backup creation, one restore and export. Read exclusions before purchasing; a refund window does not prove every add-on is refundable or that support will complete the move.
Hostinger's India page showed prepaid plan terms, explicit renewal figures and a 30-day guarantee on the verification date. The Hostinger versus GoDaddy worksheet shows how to add domain, mailbox, backup and ownership costs.

The standard pricing page showed 14 days. The separate Bootcamp page showed 30 days and requested billing information. Treat those as distinct routes. Before signup, decide which one you are using and save the landing page.
Build one internal workflow with a test form, acknowledgement, wait, reply stop and human task. HighLevel's billing guide says wallets fund usage-based services; the Bootcamp page warns that communication surcharges may apply during the trial. Use internal addresses and a small cap, then delete or archive the experiment.

AutoAE Free is not a commercial trial. Use self-owned content to check whether a template accepts the longest text, brand proportions and target aspect ratio. Do not deliver its watermarked 720p free output in paid work. If the fit succeeds, recheck the paid licence and credit requirement for the final deliverables.

The official free-credit FAQ currently lists daily Basic Credits and separate limited allowances. Define one browser, PDF or link-reading task and record credits before and after. Because the public pricing page did not return readable plan evidence in this pass, this article does not state a paid Sider price or paid credit bundle.
View Current Sider OptionsWhat this ledger cannot prove
No row demonstrates reliability, support quality, refund success, output accuracy, security or economic benefit. A longer trial can be worse than a short one if the task is vague. A free plan can be expensive if it creates unusable output or exposes client data. Keep the experiment small enough to exit without depending on the vendor.
Recheck every route on the day of signup and treat the provider's checkout, licence and account state as controlling evidence.
