# Test and Live Modes

Our Platform offers two distinct modes for users: `Test Mode` and `Live Mode.` Understanding the differences between these modes is crucial for effectively utilizing our service. Below is a detailed description of each mode.

> `Test Mode` is designed for users to familiarize themselves with the platform’s features and functionality without the risk of affecting real data. It is ideal for initial testing, training, and experimentation. In Test Mode, you are provided with 5 free verifications. This allows you to test the system and understand how it works without any cost.

{% hint style="info" %}
Test Mode is available to all users through registering on our website. No prior subscription is required to access this mode
{% endhint %}

> `Live Mode` is intended for actual identity verification processes required for compliance. All verifications performed in this mode are real and affect actual data. Verifications performed in Live Mode are billed according to your subscription plan or pay-per-use agreement.

{% hint style="info" %}
Live Mode is only available to clients who have signed the agreement and selected a pricing plan. \
Afterwards, access to Live Mode can also be restricted by assigning the respective[ user roles](/get-started/work-with-the-team.md) .
{% endhint %}

### Switching Between Modes

You can switch between `Test Mode` and `Live Mode` at any time through the toggle in the header:

{% hint style="info" %}
Data created and collected in Test Mode is not transferred to Live Mode automatically. However, `Workflows` can be duplicated manually if needed. For more instructions follow [the link.](/build-verification-flows/duplicate-workflows.md)&#x20;
