Maybe someone mentioned So Tell Us, or you went looking for something better than a group chat that quietly stopped working. Either way, you want to know what the free trial actually gives you before you decide anything.
Here is exactly that. No vague promises.
What the free trial includes
The free trial lasts 14 days. No credit card required to start.
During those 14 days, you get the full product:
- Invite up to four other people to your group
- Everyone receives the first set of warm questions by email
- Replies come in by text, photo, or voice note
- On the send day, one compiled letter arrives in everyone's inbox
Nothing is locked or limited. This is not a stripped-down version. It is the product.
How to start your trial
Go to so-tell-us.com, click "Start a group," and follow the short setup. You will name your group and invite your people. That is it.
No app to download. No third-party account. No card details before you see anything real.
Once the group is set up, the questions go out. Your people reply when they have time. The letter arrives on the fixed send day.
Two minutes to set up. The first letter within two weeks.
What happens during the 14 days
The trial is long enough to experience at least one full letter cycle. Here is roughly what that looks like.
Week one. You set up the group and invite your people. Questions land in everyone's inbox. Some reply quickly. Others take a few days. One sentence is enough. Skipping is fine.
Send day. The compiled letter arrives — all the answers, gathered into one quiet email. No notifications before that moment. No pings, no feed to check. Just the letter.
After the letter. This is usually when something shifts. A phone call starts differently. Someone mentions a detail they read. The ordinary things that tend to slip through group chats are suddenly there, in writing.
Nothing requires your attention to keep it going. No reminders, no countdown banners. It runs on its own cadence.
What you get after the trial ends
After 14 days, the price is €5 per month for the whole group. One person pays. The other four use it for free.
Not €5 per person. €5 total.
If you decide not to continue, you can cancel in two clicks. No screens stacked three deep asking if you are sure. No retention flow designed to wear you down.
If your group has more than five people, write to the founder directly at richard@so-tell-us.com and he will work out a custom plan.
Who the trial is actually for
So Tell Us works best for small groups of people who already care about each other but have lost the rhythm of real conversation. That might be:
- A family spread across different cities, where WhatsApp has become a stream of forwarded links and nobody actually talks
- A group of old friends who mean to call but never quite manage it
- An adult child who wants genuine ongoing contact with aging parents who are on email but not on social platforms
- Siblings who mostly hear from each other when something goes wrong
The five-person cap is not a constraint. It is a deliberate choice. Smaller groups mean every answer fits in the letter. Everyone gets read. There is nothing to scroll past.
If that sounds like the group you have in mind, the trial is worth starting.
Common questions before starting
Do my people need to create accounts?
No. They receive an email with the questions and reply directly. That is the only step required of them.
What if someone does not reply?
That is fine. The letter goes out on the send day with whoever answered. Skipping a round does not remove anyone from the group.
Is the content private?
Yes. No public profiles, no feed, nothing visible outside your group. Servers are hosted in Germany with EU-only subprocessors. No ad tracking runs inside the app. Your letters are never used to train AI models.
Can I reply with a voice note?
Yes. Voice notes are automatically transcribed so they read naturally inside the compiled letter. No one needs to press play if they would rather read.
What if I want to cancel?
Cancel any time in two clicks. No forms, no waiting period, no follow-up emails asking why.
