Best for

  • Readers starting a trial this week
  • Teams who got billed on day 8

Skip if

  • Anyone skipping the card screen

Compare Payments times the trial clock and card-on-file trap for “payment processors” in payment processors on 2026-09-14 across Stone, PagSeguro, and Stripe. Focus: payment processors. Annual is blocked until day-8 charging is written, not guessed.

What happens at hour 13 after the trial

Run payout timing on Stone: 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 PagSeguro: 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.

Run chargeback on Stripe: 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.

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-2026-09-14-s19

  • 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 2026-09-14

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 2026-09-14 is not a clock.

On PagSeguro, write whether a card is required, the trial length in days, and the first USD charge date. A “free” badge on 2026-09-14 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 2026-09-14 is not a clock.
