We built FlowCert because backflow testers shouldn't spend more time on paperwork than on actual testing. Today we're making that mission even more accessible: every new FlowCert account now includes 3 free reports per month on our Starter plan — no credit card, no trial countdown, no strings attached.
What You Get on the Starter Plan
The Starter plan isn't a stripped-down demo. You get the same core engine that our Pro and Business subscribers rely on daily:
- 3 city-compliant reports per month — generated in under 30 seconds
- Device & client management — track serial numbers, locations, and test history
- Automatic city formatting — reports match your municipality's required layout
- ZIP-code compliance lookup — instantly find submission rules for any service area
- Cloud storage — access your reports from any device, anytime
Why 3 Reports?
Three reports is enough to run a real job — arrive on-site, test multiple devices, and walk away with compliant paperwork delivered to the property owner and ready for city submission. It's not a teaser; it's a genuine workflow test so you can see the ROI before you upgrade.
How It Compares to Paid Plans
As your workload grows, upgrading unlocks higher volumes and advanced features:
- Free trial: 1 free report, then $9.99 per report
- Pro ($49/month): Unlimited reports, priority city submission, photo documentation, compliance alerts
- Business ($149/month): Everything in Pro plus team accounts, batch PDF export, and dedicated support
You can upgrade or downgrade at any time from your dashboard — no long-term contracts.

Who Is the Starter Plan For?
The free tier is ideal for:

Frequently Asked Questions
Do unused reports roll over?
No — your 3 free reports reset at the beginning of each billing month. This keeps the plan simple and predictable.
Can I upgrade mid-month?
Yes. When you upgrade to Pro or Business, you get immediate access to unlimited reports for the remainder of that billing cycle.
Is there a time limit on the free plan?
No. The Starter plan is free forever. Use it for as long as it fits your workload.
