# Create your account and workspace

Source: https://docs.qualflare.com/docs/get-started/create-account · Last updated: 2026-10-28

Sign up for Qualflare with email, GitHub or Google, confirm your email, start a trial from a plan link, and name your first workspace and project.

To create a Qualflare account, sign up at app.qualflare.com/register with email, GitHub or Google, then name your first workspace and project in a three-step setup; a sign-up from a Core or Scale plan link starts a 14-day trial.

## Before you begin

* An email address you can read mail at, or a GitHub or Google account whose email is verified there.
* For a trial, the plan link from [Start a trial](https://docs.qualflare.com/docs/get-started/create-account#start-a-trial).
* If a teammate invited you, open the link in the invitation email instead: [Join a workspace by invitation](https://docs.qualflare.com/docs/get-started/create-account#join-by-invitation).

## Sign up

### Step 1: Open the sign-up page

Go to `https://app.qualflare.com/register`. Choose **Continue with GitHub** or **Continue with Google**, or fill in **First Name**, **Last Name**, **Email Address** and **Password**.

Use 14 to 256 characters for the password. No mix of upper case, digits or symbols is needed, and Qualflare refuses common and breached passwords.

*Figure: Sign up with GitHub, with Google, or with your email address and a password of 14 to 256 characters.*

### Step 2: Create the account

Click **Sign Up**. If you chose GitHub or Google, you come back signed in instead: go to [Set up your workspace and first project](https://docs.qualflare.com/docs/get-started/create-account#setup).

### Step 3: Confirm your email

The page says **Verify your email**. Open the link in the email within 60 minutes, enter your password on **Confirm your email**, and click **Confirm email**. If the email doesn't arrive, click **Resend email**; only the newest link then works.

If the address already has an account, you still see **Verify your email**: Qualflare emails that account instead of creating a second one, so sign in instead.

## Set up your workspace and first project

After you confirm your email and sign in, the setup opens. It has three steps.

### Step 1: Name your workspace

Choose a **Workspace Type**: **Team** for your team's projects, or **Open Source** for a public GitHub project ([Activating the Open Source plan](https://docs.qualflare.com/docs/open-source/activating)). Enter a **Workspace Name** and a **URL Path**, each 3 to 32 characters. Click **Next**.

> **Warning:** The URL Path identifies the workspace in its app URLs, and you can't change it later.

### Step 2: Create your first project

Enter a **Project Name** and a **URL Path**, which you can't change later either. In an Open Source workspace, pick the GitHub repository, and both come from it. Click **Next**.

### Step 3: Invite your team, or skip

Type an address in **Email Address** and click **Add**, once per address, then click **Finish**. An address still in the field is sent too. To skip the step, click **Finish** with no address. The step notes: `Invitees will join as Viewers — you can change roles later from workspace settings.` To change an invitee's role later, see [Change a member's role](https://docs.qualflare.com/docs/administration/users#change-a-members-role).

On Starter, the workspace has 1 member seat, so an invitee can't accept until a seat is free ([What happens at a limit](https://docs.qualflare.com/docs/administration/plans#what-happens-at-a-limit)).

*Figure: The setup asks for a workspace, a first project and optional invitations; both URL paths are permanent.*

Qualflare shows `Almost there...` and opens your project. You are the Owner of the workspace and of the project. Its **Overview** shows **Set up this project**, the steps to upload your first results: continue with the [Quickstart](https://docs.qualflare.com/docs/get-started).

## Start a trial

[Sign up for a Core trial](https://app.qualflare.com/register?plan=core) · [Sign up for a Scale trial](https://app.qualflare.com/register?plan=scale)

* The trial lasts 14 days and needs no credit card.
* During the trial, Core has 3 seats and Scale has 10.
* The app keeps the plan from the link for 24 hours, so finish the setup within a day of signing up. A setup after that, in a new tab, creates a Starter workspace.
* A plain sign-up, or a **Team** workspace without a plan link, starts on the free Starter plan.
* An **Open Source** workspace gets the Open Source plan, with no trial.

During the trial, **Plan & Billing** shows the days left and **Subscribe and pay**.

For what happens when the trial ends, see [Free trial](https://docs.qualflare.com/docs/administration/plans#free-trial).

## Join a workspace by invitation

The link in the invitation email opens the invitation. Without an account, click **Create Account**: the sign-up page shows `You're invited!` and names the workspace and project, and the invited email address is filled in and can't be changed.

There is no confirmation email: you are signed in and taken to the invitation. If the workspace requires single sign-on or two-factor authentication, the app says `Your account is ready. Sign in to finish joining the workspace.`

Already have an account? Click **Sign In** on the invitation instead. Then see [Accept an invitation](https://docs.qualflare.com/docs/administration/users#accept-an-invitation).

## Create more workspaces and projects

* [Create a workspace](https://docs.qualflare.com/docs/administration/workspaces#create-a-workspace), from **All Workspaces** in the workspace switcher.
* [Create a project](https://docs.qualflare.com/docs/administration/projects#create-a-project), from the workspace's **Projects** page.

## Verify

You should see your project's **Overview** with **Set up this project**, and your workspace in the workspace switcher with its plan in capitals, such as `STARTER`.
