What happens when the trial ends
Nothing is charged, because no card was taken. Your account moves to Free and every drawing stays where it is. If you made more than three during the trial you keep all of them and can go on editing them; Free only stops you adding another. Measurements and building elements you already placed stay on the sheet, and can still be moved or deleted.

Paying
Checkout is run by Paddle, who show the tax and the exact amount in your currency before you confirm anything. You can cancel from your workspace at any time. Billed time is not refunded, which is why the trial comes first and asks for nothing.
Try it on the sample drawing
Redline runs in the browser — nothing to install. Open the demo to try tools on a sample drawing. Demo edits are temporary; your own files, saving, signatures, exporting, printing and downloads come with the seven-day trial, which takes no card. After it you keep Redline Free, or choose Pro at $15 a month or $150 a year. Compare the plans.
