The free path is for proof, not a toy demo
Central should prove itself on the messy products your team recognizes. Start with products that have thin supplier copy, missing fields, conflicting specs, weak schema, or a feed output you do not trust.
The public offer is simple: 3 products enriched free. The active pricing model also gives the account a one-time token balance for evaluation. Do not turn this into a card-free signup claim.
What the free evaluation should show
| Input | Central returns |
|---|---|
| Shop URL, product URL, CSV row, or selected sample products. | Enriched records with source trails, confidence, and review states. |
| Thin copy, missing specs, or unsupported claims. | Verified fields, hidden claims, and product-page output preview. |
| One target such as schema, FAQ, Google output, or custom feed preview. | A small output sample grounded in the verified record. |
What 500 one-time tokens means
| Workflow | Token cost | What the evaluator learns |
|---|---|---|
| Full enrichment | 50 / SKU | Whether Central can find, verify, and enrich real product facts. |
| Simple enrichment | 20 / SKU | Whether empty fields can be filled from available context. |
| Targeted enrichment | 10 / SKU | Whether one missing field group can be repaired. |
| Optimization refresh | 8 / SKU | Whether output copy can be refreshed from verified facts. |
For public page copy, lead with 3 products enriched free. Use token detail to explain what happens after proof.
When to move from Free to a plan
| Signal | Recommended next step |
|---|---|
| The source trail and output quality are useful, and the catalog is small. | Starter |
| You want recurring catalog work, Channel Studio, widget outputs, or active feed work. | Growth |
| You have larger volume, agency/client work, API/webhook needs, or more operational controls. | Professional |
| You need SSO/SAML, SLA, custom models, procurement, or high-volume governance. | Enterprise |
Proof artifact: free run output
| Before the free run | During the run | After the run |
|---|---|---|
| Product URL with title, price, image, and thin copy. | Central gathers sources, verifies facts, and holds unsupported claims. | Enriched product record with source trail, confidence, review states, description draft, FAQ candidates, and schema preview. |
| Claim cannot be supported. | Marked Needs source. | Hidden from publishable output. |
| Missing channel field. | Targeted gap fill can be estimated. | Field ready, in review, or still missing. |
Bring 3 products that show the real catalog problem.
Look at the sources, confidence, held claims, and output previews before you decide which plan fits.
Questions before you start
Is the free evaluation charged?
No. The free evaluation is not charged. A payment method can be required for account verification.
Can I try more than 3 products?
Use the active token balance, PAYG/top-up, or a subscription plan after the initial evaluation path.
What should I test?
Choose products with missing attributes, thin copy, source conflicts, or channel output problems.
What happens after the free evaluation?
Compare the plan fit, set a token cap, and choose Starter, Growth, Professional, or Enterprise based on monthly catalog work.
