Try Before You Buy 🎁
Buying new software for your business is a big step. You are trusting a computer program with your money and your stock. It is completely normal to be nervous. What if it is too hard to use? What if your staff hates it? What if it does not work in your shop?
The best software companies understand this fear. They do not force you to pay before you know if the tool actually works. They let you test it in the real world.
If you are curious about text-based accounting, you are in luck. You can try eShop by Dapplesoft without spending a single coin. They offer a completely free trial that gives you full access to the system. Let us look at exactly what you get and how to start.
What is in the Free Plan? 🆓
The Free plan is not a limited, broken version of the software. It is the real thing. When you sign up, you pay 0 BDT. In return, you get to enjoy a free trial for 7 days.
During these 7 days, you have unlimited access to the system. You can add as many items as you want. You can check your daily reports. You can test every single feature.
To make it even easier, the Free plan includes 100 Free SMS messages. This means you do not even have to use your own phone credit to test the basic commands. You can send 100 texts to the system to see exactly how fast it replies and how accurately it tracks your stock.
Making the Most of Your 7 Days ⏱️
Seven days is plenty of time to see if SMS inventory is right for you, but you have to use the time wisely. Do not just sign up and forget about it.
On day one, add five of your most popular items to the system. On day two, pretend to be a customer and use the SELL command to buy those items. See how the system updates your totals.
On day three, show the system to your staff. Let them send a text message. Ask them if they find it easier than writing in a paper notebook. If your staff likes it, you know you have found a good tool. By day seven, you will have all the proof you need to make a decision.

� My Thoughts
A free trial is the ultimate test of confidence. If a software company hides their product behind a paywall, I get suspicious. When they let you use it for free, it means they know it is good. They know that once you see how easy it is to track your stock with simple text messages, you will never want to go back to paper. Take the 7 days. Use the 100 free texts. See the magic for yourself. 🎁
