Billing

1. Can I switch from a monthly to a prepaid subscription?

TestRail Cloud: Yes, you can switch from a month-to-month subscription to a prepaid subscription anytime. Just open a request here and we’ll generate a quote for annual billing based on your team’s current active user count. Once you’re ready, we can invoice you based on this quote and apply the corresponding balance to your account. Subsequent monthly charges will take the form of a deduction from that prepaid balance.

2. Can I switch my prepaid subscription to a monthly option after my 12-month subscription ends?

TestRail Cloud: Yes, your subscription can be converted to monthly automated billing against a credit card once your annual subscription ends. If you want to convert from prepaid to our monthly option,  let us know before the auto-renewal period starts and ahead of your balance depletion, and we will fulfill your request. Here you have more information on how to edit your payment details. It is important to note that monthly automated billing does not include a 1-month annual discount.

3. Where can I locate the start and end date associated with my TestRail purchase?

The start date associated with your TestRail license (Server or Cloud) corresponds with your TestRail invoice issuance date (or purchase date). TestRail Server licenses expire 12 months from the purchase date. TestRail Cloud subscriptions (prepaid) tend to last for 12 months. However, this is dependent on the number of active users under Administration > Users & Roles.

Many customers increase the number of users associated with their TestRail instance, thus needing to replenish the subscription earlier than the initial 12-month period.

4. Where can I see all my current active users being billed from my balance?

TestRail Cloud is always billed at the beginning of the month for the previous month’s usage and is based on the maximum number of users marked as ‘Active’ in your TestRail instance under Administration > Users & Roles. If you are either an administrator or a user with the required privileges, you can freely browse, export, and change the number of users that you have marked active each month and subsequent monthly charges will reflect this.

Licensing

1. Which deployment option should I choose, TestRail Cloud or TestRail Server?

TestRail Cloud hosted on our servers is the best choice for most teams. With TestRail Cloud, you benefit from our fully maintained, high-performance, and secured infrastructure with automated TestRail updates.

If you need to integrate TestRail with systems installed on your private network behind a firewall, then you might want to choose TestRail Server. TestRail Server also provides you with full control of your data on a private cloud or on-premise appliances. TestRail Server licenses include support, patches, and new updates (no additional maintenance fee). Your team has full control over backups and upgrade schedules.

2. Can I freely change the number of users associated with my TestRail Cloud subscription?

Yes. TestRail Cloud’s added benefit is the flexibility of adding and removing users as needed. Your TestRail user with administrative privileges can activate and deactivate users at any time under Administration > User & Roles within TestRail.

3. I’ve exceeded the number of users on my TestRail Server Instance (e.g. need more license seats). How can I obtain more users?

TestRail Server licenses can be upgraded to the next designated user pack. Just reach out via our contact form here for more details.
