It’s not an error, just A/B testing different deals. If you want the 6 Month trial, you will need to sign up through Shopify: (Sign up Page: Shopify 6 Month Trial).
It looks like there’s a difference in the trial periods because Shopify sometimes runs different promotional offers depending on the time or region. Typically, Shopify offers a 3-day free trial, and then a 3-month trial for $1/month for certain plans (Basic, Grow, Advanced).
However, some special promotions may offer a longer 6-month trial, depending on the specific campaign, affiliate, or region you’re in.

Shopify sometimes offers different trial lengths depending on where you sign up from. The link you used gave a 3-month trial, but the official promo page now shows a 3-month offer. You can try signing up again through this Shopify free trial link to get the latest deal.
