Creating your account

In Obics, an organization is your workspace. All your integrations, scans, recommendations and settings belong to an organization, and your data is isolated from every other organization.

There are three ways to get into Obics. Pick the one that matches you.

Option 1: Sign up for the free tier

A free tier is available for Obics Cloud (not self-hosted).

From the sign-in page, choose “No account? Sign up for free”. The signup form asks for:

Field	Notes
Work email	Must be a company email; free webmail domains are rejected.
Organization name	Becomes your organization ID. Letters, digits, hyphens and underscores only, no spaces.

Click Create account. Obics sends a verification link to your email; you’ll see a “Check your email” screen. Click the link, then sign in normally.

On your first sign-in, Obics automatically creates your free organization behind the scenes and drops you on the Optimize Logs page. A Free badge appears in the profile menu at the top-right.

What the free tier includes

The free tier covers up to 50 GB/month of logs plus up to 10 metric insights per scan. When you connect an observability provider on the free plan, you’ll be asked to choose which services to scan (see Selecting services).

Your next step is to connect your data sources (see Integrations).

Option 2: Free Trial

We’re offering a free trial for organizations that want to try Obics on a bigger scale or to deploy on-prem / your cloud.

Fill-in your details and our sales team will contact you.

Option 3: You’re invited to a team

If a teammate invites you, what happens depends on whether you already have an Obics account:

• No account yet: you receive an invitation email with a setup link. It opens the Onboarding screen (“Welcome to Obics!”), where you set your Display Name and a Password, then click Complete Setup. You land in the app, already a member of the organization that invited you.
• You already have an account: you’re added to the organization immediately; no email or setup needed. It simply appears in your organization switcher.

Caution

An invitation link is single-use. If you open an expired or already-used link you’ll see “Invitation Link Invalid”. Sign in normally or ask an admin for a fresh invite.

Switching between organizations

If you belong to more than one organization, the top-right profile menu shows the current one next to your name (for example, 🏢 Dogfood). A swap icon opens an organization switcher listing every organization you belong to; the active one is marked (current). Click another to switch. If you belong to just one, no switcher appears.

Plans

Your organization’s plan is shown as a badge in the profile menu:

Badge	Meaning
Free	50 GB/month of logs + up to 10 metric insights, capped scope, choose-your-services.
Trial	Time-limited full access; some rows may be locked until you upgrade.
(no badge)	Paid organization, full access.
