Each new Mirai Live account begins with a 7-day free trial. You will receive one reminder via email that you will be billed before your free trial ends.
After your 7-day free trial elapses, you will be billed in advance on a recurring basis, depending upon the tier and billing frequency you select during the Subscription purchasing process. You will have the choice between being billed on a monthly recurring basis or a yearly recurring basis. The available tiers of subscription options are as follows:
