## Plan features

LaunchDarkly offers Developer, Foundation, Enterprise, and Guardian plans:

* **Developer** plans help you get started with feature flags for passion projects. Developer plans are free to use and don't require a credit card.
* **Foundation** plans include scalable feature management and Experimentation for growing teams.
* **Enterprise** plans support advanced software delivery practices at Enterprise scale.
* **Guardian** plans provide additional features to monitor and guard your releases at scale.

You can subscribe as a developer for free with limited usage of [service connections](/home/account/metrics#service-connections), [MAU](/home/account/calculating-billing#monthly-active-users-mau), [Experimentation keys](/home/account/calculating-billing#experimentation-keys), and observability features ([session replays](/home/observability/session-replay), [errors](/home/observability/errors), [logs](/home/observability/logs), and [traces](/home/observability/traces)). If you subscribe to a Foundation, Enterprise, or Guardian plan, monthly entitlements are included for each of these.

You can add [Data Export events](/integrations/data-export) to Foundation, Enterprise, and Guardian plans as an add-on.

You can upgrade your organization's subscription at any time. For more information about pricing and feature support, read [Pricing](https://launchdarkly.com/pricing/).

## Guarded rollout availability

All LaunchDarkly accounts include a limited number of guarded rollouts to help you evaluate the feature in real-world scenarios. You can use these guarded rollouts on any environment and for any feature flag.

After you use the included number of guarded rollouts, you must upgrade to a Guardian plan to create new ones.

To learn more, read [Guarded rollouts](/home/releases/guarded-rollouts).

## Free trials

When you sign up for a free trial with LaunchDarkly, your trial includes access to all of LaunchDarkly's Guardian features.

When your trial ends, your account will automatically convert to a free Developer plan. At that time, LaunchDarkly retains any account data related to Guardian features, but you will not be able to interact with those features unless you upgrade to a Guardian plan. You can also choose to upgrade to a paid Foundation or Enterprise plan.

Here is how your account features change with each plan type:

* If you upgrade to a Guardian plan, you will retain access to all Guardian features and any Guardian configuration you completed as part of your trial, including setting up [Guarded rollouts](/home/releases/guarded-rollouts).
* If you upgrade to an Enterprise plan, you will retain access to all Enterprise features and any Enterprise configuration you completed as part of your trial, such as setting up [teams](/home/account/teams) or [roles](/home/account/roles). LaunchDarkly retains any account data related to Guardian features, but you cannot interact with it.
  * Any guarded rollout already configured on a flag will be available to start, and any guarded rollouts still in progress will complete. You will not be able to create new guarded rollouts on new flags.
* If you move to a Developer or Foundation plan, LaunchDarkly retains any account data related to Enterprise and Guardian features, but you cannot interact with it.
  * Any guarded rollout already configured on a flag will be available to start, and any guarded rollouts still in progress will complete. You will not be able to create new guarded rollouts on new flags.
  * Any LaunchDarkly members that you assigned a custom or preset role will revert to the base role they had before you assigned the custom or preset role, such as the Reader base role.
  * The [Relay Proxy in offline mode](/sdk/relay-proxy/offline) will still function, but you will not be able to download new flag rules.

You can also [delete your trial account](/home/account/multiple-accounts#delete-trial-accounts), which permanently removes your account data.
