Referral free plan

The more engineers
you bring in, the longer
you stay free.

How the referral free plan works

Your first 5 days are completely free — no credit card, no obligation. After that, you can extend your free access indefinitely by referring other data engineers to ShieldSet.

Every colleague who creates an account through your referral link gives you 30 additional free days. Refer 12 people over the course of a year and you never pay anything.

The people best positioned to improve data reliability culture inside an organization are the engineers already living the problem. This is built for them.

Common questions

Frequently asked.

Do I need a credit card to start?
No. Your first 5 days are completely free with no payment information required. You only need to add a card if you decide to upgrade to Pro or Business+ after your trial.
What happens when my free trial ends?
Your account moves to a read-only state — you can still view and export your existing runbooks, but you won't be able to create new ones or edit existing ones until you upgrade or earn additional free days through referrals.
Is there a limit to how many free days I can earn?
No. Each successful referral adds 30 days, and there's no cap. If you refer 12 people in a year, you'll have 360 days of free access — effectively a free year. Refer more and you'll stay free indefinitely.
What counts as a successful referral?
A referral is counted when someone signs up for a new ShieldSet account using your unique referral link. They need to complete the sign-up process and verify their email. Existing users don't count.
Can I switch plans after signing up?
Yes. You can upgrade, downgrade, or cancel at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately. Downgrades take effect at the end of your current billing period. No long-term contracts.
Do you offer discounts for annual billing?
Annual pricing is coming soon. Sign up for the waitlist on your account dashboard to be notified when it's available — annual billing will include a meaningful discount over the monthly rate.
