Create Your Account
Create a Zilliz Cloud account to start building with managed vector search. You can sign up with a work email, Google account, or GitHub account.
No payment information is required to create an account. After sign-up, you can use free resources to explore Zilliz Cloud before adding a payment method.
Before you start
Go to Zilliz Cloud and click Sign up.
When you sign up for the first time, Zilliz Cloud may ask for additional information to help tailor the onboarding experience.

Log in to your Zilliz Cloud account
Always use the same method you chose for registration when logging in to your Zilliz Cloud account.
For security, your Zilliz Cloud console session expires after 6 hours of inactivity. If your session expires, sign in again to continue using the console.
For details, refer to Console sessions.
Start with free resources
After you create an account, you can use free resources to try Zilliz Cloud. Keep this section as a short orientation; for billing details, link to the billing or trial documentation.
| Resource | What you get |
|---|---|
| Free cluster | 5 GB storage, 2.5 million vCUs per month, and up to 5 collections for basic vector database use cases. |
| Free trial credits | When you sign up with a work email, your organization receives $100 in free credits. Credits expire after 30 days and can be used to evaluate Serverless and Dedicated clusters. |
| Additional credits | You can earn an additional $100 in credits by adding a payment method, such as a credit card or marketplace subscription. Adding a payment method also extends the credit expiration period to 1 year. |
If your free trial ends without a valid payment method, your organization is frozen and Serverless or Dedicated clusters are moved to the recycle bin. If you do not add a payment method within 30 days after freezing, those clusters are permanently deleted. Your organization is preserved. If you need additional credits, contact sales.
