Try VitiScribe Free: Start Your Vineyard IPM and Compliance Trial Today

By VitiScribe Editorial·November 12, 2025·Updated February 2, 2026

Most vineyard management software demos involve a salesperson walking you through a polished presentation of the best features while avoiding the parts that are clunky. You get 45 minutes of curated experience and zero time with the actual product doing actual tasks.

VitiScribe works differently. You start a free trial, you get the full platform with all features unlocked, and you use it to log real spray records for your real vineyard. No sales call required. No credit card required. No demo-only mode with limited features.

73% of VitiScribe trial users log their first real spray record within 24 hours of signing up.

TL;DR

The 14-day trial gives access to all features with no restrictions -- state-specific compliance formatting for California DPR, Oregon ODA, Washington WSDA, New York DEC, and others; PHI and REI auto-calculation; block scouting; FRAC and IRAC tracking; and audit-ready report generation
73% of trial users log their first real spray record within 24 hours; basic setup for a 3-5 block vineyard takes under 10 minutes: create account, set state, add blocks, log first spray record
The first week typically reveals which required DPR fields were missing from previous spreadsheet or paper records -- applicator license numbers, EPA registration numbers, and start and end times are the most commonly discovered gaps
After the trial, pricing is $49/month for up to 10 acres, $99/month for up to 50 acres, and $199/month for up to 200 acres with multi-user access; no long-term contract required; data is exportable regardless of whether you continue
Trial includes sample blocks and a practice spray log so you can see what a complete, compliant record looks like before creating your own
No credit card required; the account simply deactivates at the end of 14 days if you choose not to continue; your data is exportable before deactivation

What the Free Trial Includes

The 14-day trial gives you access to everything, not a stripped-down version:

State-specific spray log compliance: Set your state and every spray record you generate will be formatted for your state's regulatory requirements, California DPR, Oregon ODA, Washington WSDA, New York DEC, Virginia VDACS, and others.

PHI and REI automation: Log a spray event with any product in the database and the pre-harvest interval and re-entry interval calculate automatically from label data. You see immediately when each block's restrictions clear.

Block management: Set up your vineyard's blocks with acreage, variety, and location. The block structure drives everything else in the platform.

Scouting records: Log pest observations by block with photos from the field and link them directly to spray decisions.

FRAC and IRAC tracking: Every application you log records the mode-of-action group for resistance management tracking.

Audit-ready reports: At any point in your trial, you can generate a compliance report for any date range and any block set. That report is formatted for regulatory review.

Mobile access: Everything you do in the trial is accessible from your phone. Spray logging, block scouting, PHI checking, and report generation all work from the field.

The trial also includes a sample block setup and a practice spray log. These are pre-populated examples so you can see what a complete, compliant spray record looks like before you create your own.

How to Set Up in Under 10 Minutes

The setup process for a new VitiScribe account is designed to get you to your first real spray record as quickly as possible.

Step 1: Create your account. Email address and password. No credit card. Takes 90 seconds.

Step 2: Set your state. This applies the correct compliance framework for your operation. Your spray records will be formatted for your state's regulatory requirements from the first one you create.

Step 3: Add your blocks. For each block, enter a name, acreage, and variety. You can add location data (GPS boundary or address) and a satellite image later. Block setup for a typical small vineyard takes 3-5 minutes.

Step 4: Log your first spray record. Select the block, select the product from the database, enter rate and volume, and save. The record auto-populates PHI, REI, product data, and weather conditions where connected. Your first compliant spray record is complete.

That's it. You're now running a compliant spray log program.

What You'll Learn in the First Week

Most growers discover a few things within the first week of using VitiScribe that change how they think about their spray records:

How many fields they were missing in their old records. The first time you see a fully complete VitiScribe record with all 14 required DPR fields, the fields you weren't including in your spreadsheet or paper log become obvious. Many growers have been missing start and end times, EPA registration numbers, or applicator license numbers without realizing those were required.

What PHI management looks like when it's automated. Checking which products have active PHI restrictions on which blocks is a drag task when done manually. The VitiScribe dashboard shows this at a glance. Growers who've been doing this calculation manually find the automated version saves time and eliminates calculation errors.

How long audit preparation actually takes. Generating a compliance report in VitiScribe takes about 30 seconds. Growers who've done audit preparation manually understand why this matters.

Who the Free Trial Is Designed For

The trial is specifically useful for:

Growers considering switching from spreadsheets or paper: You can run VitiScribe in parallel with your existing system for the trial period, then compare the output. If VitiScribe's records are more complete and compliant than what you've been generating, the transition decision is easy.

Operations planning to start digital records from scratch: New vineyards, new managers taking over record-keeping, or operations that have been managing without formal records. The trial lets you build your record-keeping foundation before you're in the middle of spray season.

Growers evaluating against other platforms: You can evaluate VitiScribe's actual performance, not a demo, against the demos you've seen from other platforms. That's a more honest comparison.

After the Trial: Pricing

If you choose to continue after the 14-day trial, pricing is straightforward:

Starter: $49/month for operations up to 10 acres

Pro: $99/month for operations up to 50 acres

Estate: $199/month for operations up to 200 acres with multi-user access

No long-term contract required. You can cancel at the end of any billing period. If you don't want to continue after the trial, your account simply deactivates. Your data is exportable before deactivation so you can retain your records regardless of what you decide.
