# What happens when I run out of live demos?

> Nothing breaks and nothing is charged: visitors watch your recording instead of a live demo, and they can still ask questions in chat. You still get their details. On a paid plan, add a top-up or a bigger pack; on the trial or the Free plan, pick a plan.

Reviewed 2026-10-27.

## What visitors see

The recorded demo, the chat, and the same email form, so you still get the lead and the alert.

A short note tells them why: Live demos are fully booked for now. Here's the recording, and you can still ask anything. When it's the day's limit instead, it says Today's live demos are fully booked.

## Your options

- On a paid plan, [add a top-up](https://demopage.io/help/top-up.md) of 10 to 100 live demos under Need more live demos this month? on the Plan tab. They count from when PayPal confirms the payment, for 30 days.
- Move to a bigger pack with Change plan on the Plan tab. On the trial or the Free plan, the plans are already open there. See [changing your plan](https://demopage.io/help/change-or-cancel-plan.md).
- Keep live demos for buyers: in Leads, under Where alerts go, set Who gets a live demo to Work emails right away; personal emails wait for us. See [who gets a live demo](https://demopage.io/help/who-gets-a-live-demo.md).

![The Who gets a live demo setting under Where alerts go: a menu with the current choice, a note about people who wait, and the Always let in and Always hold for us fields.](https://storage.googleapis.com/demopage-media/docs/access.0e21efa12d64.webp)

## When live demos come back

There's no reset date. Each live demo that counted frees up 30 days after it happened, so room comes back a little at a time. See [whether unused live demos roll over](https://demopage.io/help/do-live-demos-roll-over.md), and the [daily limit](https://demopage.io/help/daily-live-demo-limit.md) when only today is full.

## Before you run out

When you've used most of the day's or the month's live demos, a note under the portal's tabs suggests a bigger plan, with a See plan button that opens the Plan tab.
