The Streamable reported the trial was discontinued for new customers as of November 19 (secondary). Later copies (December 2025 to March 2026) also show no trial, and Philo's March 10, 2026 blog post calls the trial on its new Essential plan “reinstated”. Dated on or before the first archived copy without the trial.
