Navigate to app.ascend.io and click Start your free trial.

The Ascend free trial gives you 14 days or 100 Ascend Credits, whichever comes first. To continue beyond these limits, select a plan to subscribe to. If your limits are reached, your Instance will be locked — you can still subscribe to unlock it.
You are signing up for the multitenant SaaS application hosted at app.ascend.io. If you are looking to deploy a self-hosted version of Ascend, review our pricing page and talk to sales.
