Create a free trial deployment

For first-time EMQ X Cloud customers, we have an opportunity for you to create a free trial deployment of up to 30 days in length. The free trial deployment is an ideal way for you to learn and explore the features of EMQ X Cloud. Before creating a free trial deployment, you need to understand that the free trial has the following restrictions.

• Free trial up to 14 days.

  To extend your free trial, you can submit a ticket or contact us by email to get in touch with us.

• Maximum 1000 client connections for the basic plan, maximum 5000 client connections for professional plan

• 100 GB free traffic per month.

• Use all EMQ X features such as rule engine, monitoring management, etc.

• Support for MQTT, WebSockets, MQTT over TLS/SSL, WebSockets over TLS protocol connections.

  For additional protocol support, you can submit a ticket or send email (cloud@emqx.io) to get in touch with us.

• The basic plan does not support custom TLS/SSL and VPC Peering.

• Deployment has active client connections within 7 days.

  If the deployment has no active connections for 7 days we will temporarily stop your free trial deployment. You can start your free trial deployment again by logging into the EMQ X Cloud console.
