Blinkist is a book-summarizing subscription service based in Berlin, Germany, founded in 2012 by Holger Seim, Niklas Jansen, Sebastian Klein, and Tobias Balling.
Yes, Blinkist offers a 7-day free trial of their premium service. You can access it by signing up for a yearly plan but don't worry, you won't be charged if you cancel before the 7 days are up.
Blinkist also provides a free tier that gives you access to a curated selection of one "Blink" (their term for a book summary) per day. This is a good way to try out Blinkist and see if it's a good fit for you before committing to a paid subscription.
You can start your Blinkist 7-day free trial by signing up for a Blinkist yearly plan. You are under no obligation to stay for the whole year and will not be charged until the 7-day free trial is over—just subscribe, learn to your heart’s content, and cancel any time before your 7 free days have passed.
Please note that you may only start a trial once: if you've previously purchased a subscription and made use of the 7-day trial already, you won't be able to start a new trial the next time you sign up for a yearly subscription.
