4 min read

Step 1 — Sign up

Go to the signup page, choose your plan (Starter, Professional, or Enterprise), enter your work email and organisation name, then start your free 14-day trial. No credit card required for Starter or Professional.

Use a work email with your organisation domain — Journalify uses the domain to associate teammates you invite later.

Accepting the Terms of Service

During signup you'll be asked to accept the Journalify Terms of Service and acknowledge the Privacy Policy. Your acceptance is recorded with a timestamp against your tenant and is available on request via Account → Privacy → Data export.

Step 2 — Verify your email

Check your inbox for a verification email from Journalify. Click the link to activate your account. The link expires in 24 hours; if you miss it, click "Resend" on the login page.

Step 3 — Configure your organisation

  1. Set your organisation display name (the public-facing name on your published articles).
  2. Pick your tenant region: UAE, EU, or US (data residency — cannot be changed later).
  3. Upload an organisation logo (PNG/SVG, square, ≥256×256 px).
  4. Set the default language and timezone for your newsroom.

Step 4 — Choose your subdomain

Each newsroom gets a subdomain like yourname.journalify.app. You can also point a custom domain (e.g. cms.yourpaper.com) to Journalify after the trial.
