Free Trial
GrowthMentor runs a 7-day free trial. A credit card is required to start. You won't be charged until day 8, and if you cancel any time within those 7 days you won't be charged at all.
Why the trial is gated
Around 80% of our mentors are free to book, and many of them donate their time. When we tried a fully open trial with no card, we got a wave of no-shows, and nothing burns out a generous mentor faster than an empty calendar slot. Asking for a card at sign-up keeps the signal high: people who book are people who actually plan to show up. It protects the mentors, which is what keeps the marketplace worth being part of.
To be clear, the card is just to start the trial. No charge happens during the 7 days, and cancelling is a click.
Sample the platform first
Seven days is plenty to see if this fits. The point of the trial is to actually use it, not to read about it. Book at least one or two calls, sit through them, and judge GrowthMentor on whether those conversations moved something for you.
Most mentors carry real reviews from past mentees, so you're not booking blind. You can read how other founders and marketers rated a mentor before you ever reach out. Use AI matching or the browse filters to find someone, or message our team on live chat and we'll suggest a mentor based on what you're stuck on.
What happens after the trial
If you stay, you're on a Pro membership: one flat fee, every mentor, unlimited 30-minute 1:1 video sessions. You can see the current plans on the membership page. If GrowthMentor isn't for you, cancel before day 7 and you pay nothing.
