No trial period on the paid plans: you pay for the month when you sign up and can cancel any time. The Free plan has no card and no time limit.
01
Pick Starter or Pro
Add a card when you sign up. The first month is charged that day.
02
Use it from the first minute
Everything in the plan you picked, on site and in the browser, straight away.
03
Monthly from then on
£4.99 a month on Starter, £9.99 on Pro. Cancel any time from Billing and keep the plan to the end of the month you've paid for.
Cancel and, at the end of the month you've paid for, the account moves to the Free plan: you can still open, edit and export your certificates, download your data and delete the account, while the AI features switch off and the PDFs carry a small Certio mark. Subscribe again and everything switches back on exactly as you left it.
Billing is handled securely by Stripe. Card details never sit with Certio.

When
Depends on how much there is and how your old software exports. You carry on using Certio for new work meanwhile.
Straight answers
Pricing questions.
Does Pro have a trial?
No. Pro is £9.99 a month, charged when you sign up, with no contract and no notice period. Starter is the same at £4.99 a month. If you'd rather not add a card at all, the Free plan needs no card and has no time limit.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep the plan to the end of the month you've paid for, then the account moves to the Free plan: your certificates stay yours to open, edit, export and download, the AI features switch off and the PDFs carry a small Certio mark. Subscribe again and everything switches back on.
Is a card needed to start?
The Free plan needs no card at all. Starter and Pro take a card when you choose one of them, and the first month is charged that day. Payments are handled by Stripe, so your card details never sit with us.
Can I cancel whenever I want?
Yes. Monthly, no contract, no notice period, no exit fee. Cancel in a couple of taps from Billing in the app or the web portal and you keep the plan until the end of the month you have paid for.
Is the price per certificate?
No. Prices are per business, per month. The Free plan is £0 with no card. Pro includes unlimited certificates. Starter has a small monthly AI allowance for board scans and tester-screen reads.
Is PAT included on the Starter plan?
Yes. EICR, EIC, Minor Works and PAT are on every plan — Free, Starter and Pro.
What happens to my certificates if I stop paying?
The PDFs you've issued are already yours — nothing we do can take them back. Your account moves to the Free plan, with no time limit: you can still open, edit, export and download everything, with the AI features off. Delete the account whenever you like, or ask us and we'll do it. We don't hold your documents hostage.
Will you help me move off my current software?
Yes, on every plan and at no charge. Start with any plan, then email support@certio.uk with what you are on and your exports. We load your certificates, customers, quotes and invoices into your account for you. See how switching works at certio.uk/switch.
Is there an iPhone version?
Yes. Certio Certs is on the App Store for iPhone, free to download — sign in with the same account you use on Android or in the browser. The web portal also works on any phone or laptop.
There's a free plan with no card. Starter is £4.99 a month, and Pro is £9.99 a month with unlimited certificates, charged when you sign up. No contract, cancel in two taps.
