# Create an account

Sign up at [tinylytics.app](https://tinylytics.app) with an email address and a password, then click the link we send you. Confirming your address is what begins the **14-day trial**, and it is also what switches collection on: until the address is confirmed, Tinylytics will not serve the embed script or record a hit. If your numbers stay at zero on day one, this is the first thing to check.

After confirming, you land on a screen titled **Welcome to Tinylytics**, asking for the first site.

The trial gives you everything, including the features that later belong to the higher plans, so you can find out which one you actually need. We do not ask for a card up front.

When the trial ends you choose between **Zen** (2 sites), **Pro** (20 sites), and **Ultra** (50 sites). The analytics are identical on all three — the plans differ in how many sites you can track and, on Ultra, in the collaboration and alerting extras. [Billing](/docs/account/billing) has the full comparison.

## If an agent is signing you up

An AI agent can start the process for you, but it cannot finish it. It calls the signup API, and you get an activation link by email; you choose the password and accept the terms yourself. Your trial starts when you activate, and only then can the agent connect over [MCP](/docs/mcp). The full sequence is in [instructions for agents](/docs/agent_signup).

## Managing the account afterwards

**Account** in the top navigation holds everything that belongs to you rather than to a particular site. Your time zone is under **Account → Profile**, and it matters more than it sounds: it decides where the day breaks on your charts, what "this week" means, and when the weekly email arrives. Your email address, password, passkeys, and two-factor authentication are under **Account → Security**, and your plan is under **Account → Billing**.

**Account → Export data** downloads everything, and **Account → Danger zone** deletes your account. Both are yours to run whenever you like, without asking us first. Deleting cancels your account straight away and removes all of its data 14 days later. The email we send has a link to restore the account before then, or to delete everything right away.
