# Sign up and sign in

> Create a ClearSpend account or return with email magic link or Google.

You need a ClearSpend account before you can open a workspace. Sign-up and sign-in both happen on [app.clearspend.ai](https://app.clearspend.ai).

## Sign in options

| Method               | What happens                                                                           |

Use the **same email** your admin invited you with if you are accepting a [team invite](/team/invite-via-link).

## New account (sign up)

1. Open [app.clearspend.ai/signup](https://app.clearspend.ai/signup) or choose **Sign up** from the login page.
2. Prefer your **work email** so teammates with the same domain can join one workspace instead of creating duplicates.
3. Complete authentication (magic link or Google).
4. ClearSpend routes you to:
   * [Onboarding](/onboarding) if you are the first person from your domain, or
   * [Request to join](/request-to-join) if a workspace for your domain already exists, or
   * Straight to the dashboard if you arrived via an invite link.

Personal domains (`gmail.com`, `outlook.com`, etc.) always create a separate workspace.

Each user can belong to up to **3 organizations** on one account — useful if you want separate sandboxes with a personal email.
