# How to Test the New Platform Before Migrating From Legacy

If you're on Chatfuel Legacy and want to try the new platform before committing to the switch — you can.

If you're on Chatfuel Legacy and want to try the new platform before committing to the switch — you can. Just enter your card details to activate a [free 7-day trial](https://chatfuel.com/docs/billing/why-do-i-see-a-paywall), and you'll get full access to the new platform with no charge for the first week.

## There is a trial — it just requires a card [#there-is-a-trial--it-just-requires-a-card]

The new Chatfuel platform does have a free trial period. When you see the paywall screen, it's not asking you to pay — it's asking you to start your trial. Enter your card details and you'll get **7 days of full, unrestricted access** at no cost. Your card is only charged after the trial ends.

## What you can do during the trial [#what-you-can-do-during-the-trial]

* Connect your WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, or website channel
* Set up [Fuely AI](https://chatfuel.com/docs/ai-features/what-is-fuely-ai) with your business knowledge base
* Test real conversations with customers
* Explore the [Leads board](https://chatfuel.com/docs/leads/leads) and team collaboration features

Everything works exactly as it does for paying customers — no restrictions or feature limits.

## If you decide not to migrate [#if-you-decide-not-to-migrate]

You can [cancel the trial](https://chatfuel.com/docs/billing/how-to-cancel-subscription-or-trial) at any point during the 7 days and you won't be charged. Your Legacy account stays as-is — testing the new platform doesn't affect it.

## Ready to try? [#ready-to-try]

Go to the new platform, enter your card details, and start exploring. Most users see results within the first few conversations. For a step-by-step setup walkthrough, see the [definitive AI setup guide](https://chatfuel.com/docs/ai-features/how-to-set-up-ai-the-definitive-guide).
