Start a free trial

Create your organization and start a 14-day free trial — no credit card, and every feature included. You can do this yourself in a few minutes; no sales call needed.

Who can do this: Anyone. You don’t need an account or an invitation to start a trial.

Before you start

Have your organization’s name ready, and decide on a short web address for your team (for example, riverside-rowing).
If you received a promo code from a campaign or an email, keep it handy — you can add it during signup.

Steps

Fill in your organization and your details

Go to the MapleGather signup page. Fill in Organization name — this is the name your members will see.
Enter your Workspace address — the short web address where your team signs in (for example, riverside-rowing.maplegather.org). Use lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens.
Choose your Organization type. It only helps us tailor examples — it never changes your price or which features you get.
Choose your Time zone. It’s used for schedules and reminders.
Enter Your first name.
Enter Your last name.
Enter Your email. We’ll email a set-up link to this address, so make sure it’s correct.

If you have a promo code, select Have a promo code?.
Type your code into the Promo code field.
Select Apply.

If the code is valid, you’ll see a short note describing what it does. If it isn’t valid, you’ll see a friendly note and your trial still starts at the standard rate — a promo code never blocks your trial. To learn what a code can do, see How promo codes and introductory discounts work.

Start your trial and check your email

Select Start free trial.
You’ll see a “Check your email” message. We’ve sent a set-up link to the email address you entered.
Open your inbox and look for the email from MapleGather. If you don’t see it, check your spam folder and wait a moment.

Set your password and open your workspace

In the email, select the set-up link. (This part happens in your email, outside MapleGather.) The link opens the page where you finish setting up.

Enter a Password of at least 12 characters.
Re-enter your password in Confirm password.
Select Set password and open my workspace. You’ll be signed in and taken straight to your new workspace.

Note: To check what you typed, select Show password.

If your email address already has a MapleGather account, you’ll still fill in this form like everyone else. When you finish, we’ll recognize your existing account and sign you in with it — the password you typed here isn’t applied, and your current password keeps working.

Get started in your new workspace

On the welcome screen, select Get started to begin setting up your organization — importing members, branding your pages, and inviting your team.
Prefer to look around first? Select Skip for now to go to your dashboard. Your trial countdown stays visible at the top.

Verify

You’ll know it worked when you land in your new workspace with a welcome message and a banner showing how many days are left in your trial.

If something goes wrong

The workspace address is already taken — You’ll see a suggested address you can select with one click, or type a different one, then select Start free trial again. Nothing is created until an address is accepted.
You mistyped your email on the confirmation screen — Select Start over to return to the form with your details still filled in, correct your email, and submit again. To empty the form and begin fresh instead, select Clear the form.
The set-up link says it has expired — See Your signup link expired or was already used.
“We couldn’t finish setting up your workspace” — Nothing was created and your details are still filled in. Select Try again.
