## Create Free accounts from the dashboard

[Cloudflare Fundamentals](https://developers.cloudflare.com/fundamentals/)

You can now create standalone Free accounts directly from the Cloudflare dashboard using the new **Create Account** button. This feature is currently available to all users.

When creating a Free account:

- You can create up to **5 Free accounts**.
- Your user account must have at least **7 days of tenure** to be eligible.
- The account is created immediately and ready to use.

To create a Free account, go to the [**Cloudflare dashboard** ↗︎](https://dash.cloudflare.com/) and select **Create Account** from either the account switcher in the top left (where your account name appears) or from the **Accounts** page.

#### Limitations

- This feature can only be used to create a Cloudflare Free account. To create an Enterprise Account under your existing contract, please contact Cloudflare Support.
- All users can create a Cloudflare Free account, however, Enterprises wish to restrict this action to only Super Administrators. We will deliver this improvement in a future release.

#### Next steps

After creating your Free account, you can:

- [Add a payment method](https://developers.cloudflare.com/billing/get-started/create-billing-profile/) to enable additional Cloudflare products and services.
- [Update billing information](https://developers.cloudflare.com/billing/get-started/update-billing-info/) to manage payment methods, billing address, or tax IDs.
- [Review how Cloudflare billing works](https://developers.cloudflare.com/billing/understand/how-billing-works/) to understand the billing lifecycle and charge types.
- [Assign accounts to an Enterprise Organization](https://developers.cloudflare.com/fundamentals/organizations/for-enterprise/) to centrally manage multiple accounts from a single dashboard.
