How Stone, PagSeguro, and Stripe fail the clock

Stone fails if the card is hidden until the last hour. PagSeguro fails if payment processors dies when the trial ends. Stripe is the control: if its day-8 price is missing, stop.

Fails that kill compare-payments-trial-2026-08-27

• Starting Stone trial without a day-8 date
• Ignoring the card screen on PagSeguro
• Skipping payment processors because the trial felt long
• Letting Stripe auto-convert overnight

Go / no-go 2026-08-27

Annual only if the trial clock, card-on-file, and day-8 USD price are written for “payment processors”. Otherwise compare-payments stays monthly until payment processors survives day 8.

Start the trial without pretending the card is optional

On Stone, write whether a card is required, the trial length in days, and the first USD charge date. A “free” badge on 2026-08-27 is not a clock.

On Stripe, write whether a card is required, the trial length in days, and the first USD charge date. A “free” badge on 2026-08-27 is not a clock.

What happens at hour 29 after the trial

Run chargeback on Stone: read window and fee in the contract. If the product converts to paid without a second click, freeze annual. payment processors must still work on the free day.

Run payout timing on PagSeguro: time a test payout. If the product converts to paid without a second click, freeze annual. payment processors must still work on the free day.

Run real MDR on Stripe: simulate average ticket × monthly volume. If the product converts to paid without a second click, freeze annual. payment processors must still work on the free day.
