does airbyte cloud have a free trial without paying any credits?
k
Yes, Airbyte Cloud offers a 14-day free trial that begins after your first successful sync. You can sign up for the free trial using your email address, Google login, or GitHub login. However, if you are invited to a workspace, you cannot use your Google login to create a new Airbyte account. After signing up, Airbyte will send you an email with a verification link. On clicking the link, you'll be taken to your new workspace. You can sign up for the free trial [here](https://cloud.airbyte.com/signup?utm_campaign=22Q1_AirbyteCloudSignUpCampaign_Trial&utm_source=Docs&utm_content=SetupGuide). Please note that once you're in the workspace, you will be provided 1000 credits to get your first few syncs going. For more information, you can refer to the [Getting Started with Airbyte Cloud](https://docs.airbyte.com/cloud/getting-started-with-airbyte-cloud) guide.

@kapa.ai Yesterday we created the cloud account, today I've set the first sync but I can't run it cause I have 0 credits

To run a sync on Airbyte Cloud, you need to have credits. Airbyte credits are used to pay for Airbyte resources when you run a sync. If you have 0 credits, you won't be able to run the sync. Here's how you can purchase credits: 1. On the [Airbyte Cloud](http://cloud.airbyte.com) dashboard, click Billing in the navigation bar. 2. If you are unsure of how many credits you need, use the [Cost Estimator](https://cost.airbyte.com/) or click Talk to Sales to find the right amount for your team. 3. Click Buy credits. 4. The Stripe payment page displays. If you want to change the amount of credits, click the Qty 200 dropdown. The Update quantity dialog displays, and you can either type the amount or use minus (–) or plus (+) to change the quantity. Click Update. - Purchase limits: - Minimum: 20 credits - Maximum: 2,500 credits. To buy more credits or a custom plan, reach out to [Sales](https://airbyte.com/talk-to-sales). 5. Fill out the payment information. After you enter your billing address, sales tax (if applicable) is calculated and added to the total. 6. Click Pay. Your payment is processed. The Billing page displays the available credits, total credit usage, and the credit usage per connection. A receipt for your purchase is sent to your email. Credits expire after one year if they are not used. For more information, you can refer to the [Manage credits](https://docs.airbyte.com/cloud/managing-airbyte-cloud/manage-credits) section in the Airbyte documentation.

@kapa.ai but should I be granted with credits during the free trial?

Yes, when you set up your Airbyte Cloud account, you should be provided with 1000 credits to get your first few syncs going. This is part of the onboarding process. If you haven't received these credits, I would recommend reaching out to Airbyte support for assistance. Here are the steps for setting up your Airbyte Cloud account: 1. Using the Airbyte Cloud invite link provided to you, click
Sign up
, and verify your email. 2. Click on the default workspace. You can refer to the [Setup Guide](https://docs.airbyte.com/deploying-airbyte/on-cloud) in the Airbyte documentation for more information.

Maybe is that my account has been invited? @kapa.ai

Yes, that could be the reason. If you were invited to a workspace, you might not have received the initial 1000 credits. The credits are typically provided to the person who initially sets up the Airbyte Cloud account. As per the [Getting Started with Airbyte Cloud](https://docs.airbyte.com/cloud/getting-started-with-airbyte-cloud) guide, if you are invited to a workspace, you cannot use your Google login to create a new Airbyte account. If you need credits to run syncs, you may need to ask the person who invited you to the workspace to allocate credits or purchase additional credits if necessary.
