Three screens from creating a Zinwe account: the sign-up form, the email code and choosing the Free forever plan.

Short answer: go to zinwe.io, click Start free, fill four fields, type the code we email you, add your company details and pick Free forever. It takes about five minutes and you never enter a card.

Free forever covers up to 3 PCs with every Zinwe feature and 7 days of history. It doesn't expire. You can move to a bigger plan later, when your team grows.

Before you start

  • Use your work email. Your sign-in codes, alerts and invoices go there.
  • Keep your inbox open in another tab. You'll need a 6-digit code.
  • Zinwe runs on Windows PCs today. You set it up from any browser.

Step 1: Click Start free

On zinwe.io, the orange Start free button sits at the top right of every page.

Step 2: Fill in the sign-up form

Four things: your name, your work email, a password and a tick to accept the terms.

Step 3: Choose a password and accept the terms

The rule is right under the box: 8 or more characters, and not a common password. Tick the box to accept the Terms, Privacy Policy and Acceptable Use Policy, then press Create account.

Step 4: Check your email for the code

We send a 6-digit code to the address you typed. It works for 10 minutes. If you can't see it, check spam, or press Resend code after a minute.

Step 6: Tell Zinwe about your company

Company name, industry, team size, state, city and a business phone number. Website and GSTIN are optional. Add your GSTIN if you want GST input credit on your invoices. You can change all of this later in Profile.
