POST /api/trial gives you an instant API key with a 24-hour claim window. Free-tier limits: 10 projects, 500 submissions per form. No signup needed.
When you are ready for production: create an account via GitHub or Google OAuth at sutrena.com/signup. Then upgrade to Builder ($9/month), Pro ($29/month), or Scale ($79/month) through the dashboard.
Important: visit the claimUrl within 24 hours to claim your trial account. Once claimed, your data persists and you can upgrade anytime. Unclaimed accounts are deleted automatically.
For a clean transition: claim your trial account, get your permanent API key from the settings page, and update your code to use the new key. If you are using templates, it is one API call per form.
The production key has st_live_ prefix, same as trial. Your code does not need to change except for the key value. Endpoints, payloads, everything else is identical.
Pro tip: set up your forms and webhooks with a script. Store the form creation payloads in your repo. When you switch keys, run the script against the new key. Reproducible infrastructure.
