I’d love to be able to offer a complimentary subscription that lasts less than a year – it would be great to be able to enter an end date. Thanks for your consideration.
In the Stripe dashboard, you can manually cancel a subscription for any date. This is how I can let someone in for a month instead of a year.
Create the complimentary subscription in ghost and cancel it in Stripe.
Hope this works for you!
My own use cases:
-
I don’t push the newsletter to clients in my consulting business, because it’s not for everyone. But, when I see a client sign up, it would be nice to offer them a 3-month comp subscription. This way, the additional mails will end with no further action on their part; a nice solution if it’s not for them.

When I speak at events, I would like to offer short comps for people who attend.
Currently, it’s possible to give any member a complimentary subscription (and select the tier to apply to the subscription).
It would be helpful if one could select for how long the complimentary subscription should run (e.g. 1 month, 3 months, 1 year, indefinitely).
i agree David, this would be a great feature to have. At the moment, I have to remember to manually remove complimentary subscriptions when their time is up.
Just confirming this is in-progress and will be shipped soon
Hi All - Pleased to let you know that the ability to set an end date on comped members launched today, along with the ability for those members to upgrade to a paid plan themselves. Both of these were part of a larger release for Free Trials in Ghost.
