Fillo has two front doors. People sign up with an emailed sign-in link at [fillo.so/signup](/signup). Coding agents provision a live, capped preview workspace from the terminal — no browser, no form — and hand their developer a claim link that saves it to an account. Neither path asks for a card.

## Sign up with an email link

1. Open [/signup](/signup) and enter your work email.
2. Fillo emails you a sign-in link. There is no password at signup.
3. Click the link. That one click verifies the address, signs you in, and lands you in the dashboard.

The same flow signs in a returning address — one account per email, whether it was created here, through Google or GitHub, or by claiming an agent-provisioned workspace. **Continue with Google** and **Continue with GitHub** are available on the same page.

You can also build first and sign up later: [the form editor](/new) keeps a guest draft in your browser until you sign in and claim it.

## Agents: provision a workspace from the terminal

An agent (or any script) can create a working Fillo workspace without rendering the signup form. Run this from the project the agent is editing, with the developer's email:

```bash
npx @usefillo/cli@latest agent bootstrap --email you@company.com
```

One command provisions a preview workspace, signs the CLI into it, installs the [Build with Fillo skill](/agents), and prints the workspace's `pk_` publishable key. The workspace is live immediately — published forms accept real responses — with preview caps until it is claimed: up to 3 forms, 10 responses in total, and a 14-day hold. The email receives a private link; opening it saves the workspace to an account and lifts the preview caps to the [free plan's limits](/pricing).

If the developer already has a Fillo account, skip provisioning and connect it instead:

```bash
npx @usefillo/cli@latest login
```

The same loop is available as MCP tools (`fillo_provision_workspace`, `fillo_push_form`, `fillo_claim_status`) via `npx -y @usefillo/mcp` — see [MCP setup](/docs/mcp). Machine-readable starting points for everything else are indexed at [/llms.txt](/llms.txt).

## What you get without paying

The free plan needs no card: unlimited visual-builder forms, up to 200 code-defined forms per workspace, and 200 completed responses a month at launch, with Fillo branding visible on rendered forms. Current allowances and paid limits are published at [/pricing](/pricing) and, as Markdown, at [/pricing.md](/pricing.md).
