# Is there a free trial or demo available?

> SecureMailMerge offers a free version with all features, allowing you to try the add-in for Outlook before making a purchase.

Yes, SecureMailMerge is free to use. The free version includes all features, with one difference: a small promotional footer is added to your emails.

## How the free version works

When you install SecureMailMerge, you can immediately start using all features without entering payment details or starting a trial period. The only limitation is that emails sent with the free version include a footer like "Sent with SecureMailMerge".

This lets you thoroughly test the add-in with real campaigns before deciding to purchase. When you're ready to send emails without the footer, you can purchase a license.

## Do you offer demos or onboarding calls?

SecureMailMerge is a self-service product, so we don't offer live demos or onboarding calls. However, getting started is straightforward:

1. [Install the add-in](https://www.securemailmerge.com/help/installing-securemailmerge-addin-for-outlook/) from Microsoft AppSource
2. Follow our [getting started guide](https://www.securemailmerge.com/help/getting-started/)
3. Send yourself a test message to see how it works

Most users are up and running within a few minutes. If you have questions along the way, our [help documentation](https://www.securemailmerge.com/help/) covers all features in detail.

## How long can I use the free version?

There's no time limit. You can use the free version indefinitely. Many users continue with the free version for smaller internal communications where the footer isn't a concern.

## Removing the promotional footer

To remove the footer, [purchase a license](https://www.securemailmerge.com/purchase/). Once purchased, the footer disappears automatically on your next send. There's no need to reinstall or reconfigure anything.
