Deploying View

Creating an Account

In order to deploy View, you must create an account at app.view.io . During onboarding, supply your company information, your contact information, and choose either a trial plan or a paid plan. Trial plans provide a free credit to deploy and test View, and expire when the balance reaches $0. Paid plans use top-up billing with an initial charge and recharge amount of $100. Your account will be automatically re-charged when your balance falls below $20. Creation of a trial account requires that you put a credit card on file. Your card will not be charged unless you opt-in to the paid subscription. If you do not opt in to the paid subscription, your account will remain on a trial plan.
