Creating an account

Sign up in under a minute with email, Google, or GitHub, then land on your dashboard. · Required

You need an account before you can create a project. All three sign-up methods land you in the same place, on the same Free plan, so pick whichever is quickest for you.

Sign-up options

All three create the same kind of account, on the same Free plan. There is no account-linking screen in settings, so pick the sign-in method you'll want to keep using.

Signing up with email

2. Click Don't have an account? Sign up to open the registration page.
3. Enter your email address, choose a password of at least 6 characters, and confirm it.
4. Click Start Building.
5. Check your inbox for a confirmation email and click the verification link.
6. You'll be redirected to the dashboard, ready to go.

Signing up with Google or GitHub

1. Open the VibeMap sign-up or login page — both carry the same buttons.
2. Click Continue with Google or Continue with GitHub.
3. Select your account, or sign in to the provider if prompted.
4. Authorise VibeMap to access your basic profile information.
5. You're signed in automatically, with no email verification needed. Coming from the sign-up page you land straight on the Create New Project form; from the login page you land on your dashboard.

What you'll see after sign-up

Once your account exists, you land on the dashboard:

• Projects grid — empty at first; this is where every project spec you create will appear.
• Create Your First Project — the call to action filling the empty dashboard. Once you have projects it becomes a Create New Project card at the end of the grid.
• Account menu — top-right; reaches Account, Billing, and Team.

What the Free plan includes

Every new account starts on Free — no card, no trial clock. It covers the spine of a spec:

• One project.
• The core generations — project summary, personas, features, user stories, and acceptance criteria.
• 300K auto tokens a month, plus a throttle of 75 generations per rolling 5-day window. Free has no premium-token budget, so its generations run on economy models.
• Connecting your own AI coding agent over MCP, which is open on every plan including Free — see Two ways to generate.
• Exporting your spec.

Not on Free

These are the paid boundaries you'll meet first. VibeMap names the plan you need when you hit one.

• Pages & sections — Starter and above.
• Database schema — Starter and above.
• The conversational agent — Starter and above.
• Business case — Pro and above.
• Sprint planning — Pro and above.
• Prepare for Dev — Pro and above.

None of this blocks you from finishing a spec on Free — features, stories, and acceptance criteria are the part your coding agent actually builds from.

Managing your account

Open the account menu in the top-right corner and choose Account. It has six sections:

• Profile — display name, username, email, and avatar.
• Credentials — change your password, and export or delete your data.
• Notifications — product updates, marketing and tips, usage and billing alerts.
• Connections — link GitHub, Vercel, or Supabase so VibeMap can build and deploy on your behalf.
• Developer — issue and revoke API keys.
• MCP — the connection details your IDE agent needs.

Billing is a separate destination in the same menu, not a section of Account — your plan, subscription, and usage all live there.

Full detail on plans and limits lives in Account and billing.

⚡ Power-user hints

• Choose the sign-in method you'll keep. There's no linking screen, so switching from a password to Google later isn't a settings toggle. Decide before you start generating.
• Watch the token budget, not a generation count. The plan badge in the sidebar — visible inside a project and in Account — shows your plan with a 5-day bar and a monthly bar. Glance at it before a big run; on Free the monthly pool is 300K auto tokens.

Troubleshooting

Didn't receive a verification email?

• Check your spam or junk folder.
• Confirm you entered the correct address.
• Click Resend verification email on the login page.
• Still stuck? Email support@vibemap.ai.

Can't sign in with Google or GitHub?

• Make sure you're using the same provider account you registered with.
• Clear your browser cookies and try again.
• Still stuck? Email support@vibemap.ai — there's no self-service way to move an account to a different sign-in method.

↔ The traditional way

Most tools make you set up a workspace, verify a domain, or invite teammates before you can do anything. VibeMap gets you from sign-up to a working dashboard in under a minute, on the free tier, with no card required.
