# Creating your account and verifying your email

An account is the only thing standing between you and your first hunt, and it takes a few minutes to set up. This guide covers what you get when you sign up, why we verify your email, and how to browse Fless before you commit to anything.
## What you get when you sign up
New accounts start with a 15 day free trial with unlimited use, no credit card required. You also get 30 free credits on signup: a 25 credit bonus plus your first monthly 5. After the trial you continue on the Free plan, which keeps 5 free credits arriving monthly, and your first hunt is covered by the free allowance.
## What lives in your account
Your account is where your credits, buildings, and tour schedule belong. Hunts keep their matched buildings and conversation history, tour invitations collect in your dashboard, and credit balances carry over, because credits never expire. Nothing about your search lives in an email thread you might lose.
## Why we verify your email
Your email is how hunt links, building responses, and tour confirmations reach you, and how your credits stay attached to your account. Verification takes one click and keeps your hunts secure, so nothing a building promises you can get lost to a typo or a hijacked address.
## If the verification email does not arrive
Check your spam folder first; mail providers occasionally park one-click links there. If it is not there either, send us a note through the contact form and we will resend it. Once the email lands, verification itself is a single click, so most delays are on the mail provider side, not in your account.
## You can browse before you sign up
Every city page, neighborhood guide, rent trend, and building detail on Fless is open to browse without an account. Compare neighborhoods, check rents, and shortlist buildings first. You only need to sign up when you start a hunt, so the moment you do, your credits, buildings, and tour schedule belong to you.
## What happens when the trial ends
Nothing dramatic. When the 15 day trial ends you continue on the Free plan with the 30 credits you already have, plus 5 free credits arriving monthly. Your hunts, buildings, and tour history stay right where they are, and your first hunt remains covered by the free allowance. There is no surprise bill, because there is no card on file.
