[Getting started](https://scratcher.io/help/getting-started) 3. Start your free trial # Start your free trial Sign up in a minute, with email or with your Google, Microsoft or LinkedIn account. No credit card needed. You can try Scratcher free for 14 days. You don't need a credit card, and you can build and publish real campaigns during the trial. ## Sign up 1. Go to [platform.scratcher.io/register](https://platform.scratcher.io/en/register). You see **Start your free trial**. 2. Choose how you want to sign up: **Continue with Google**, **Continue with Microsoft**, **Continue with LinkedIn** or **Continue with email**. 3. If you sign up with email, fill in **Name**, **Email**, **Password**, **Company name** and **Country**. The country is filled in for you based on where you are, so check that it is right. 4. Tick **I accept the terms and conditions** and click **Sign up**. You land on your front page in Scratcher right away, and Rex says hello in the chat: "Hi, I'm Rex, your AI assistant. I'll help you get started once you're in." ## Your first minutes 1. Rex may ask about your company. Fill in **Complete your company profile**: your company details, industry and AI profile, and click **Save profile**. This helps the AI features suggest texts and designs that fit your business. 2. Follow the **Get started** checklist on the front page. See [Find your way around the platform](https://scratcher.io/help/getting-started/find-your-way-around). 3. Make your first campaign. See [Make your first campaign, step by step](https://scratcher.io/help/getting-started/make-your-first-campaign). ## Signing up with Google, Microsoft or LinkedIn When you pick one of these, you only fill in **Company name** and **Country** afterwards. In a few cases the provider doesn't confirm your email address. Then we send you a confirmation link. Open it in the same browser you signed up in, or the link won't work. If you already have a Scratcher login with the same email address, you see a message telling you to log in with your email and password instead. ## What is included in the trial The trial gives you the platform as it is on a paid plan, so you can try the editor, the games, prizes, integrations and Rex. You can invite colleagues to help you during the trial. The banner at the top of the screen shows how many days are left, with an **Upgrade now** button. ## When the trial ends Choose a plan before the trial ends to keep your campaigns live.
