# Create an Account ## Registration When you’re ready to get started, register for an account at . You will be asked for the following information: * First Name * Last Name * Email Address * Phone Number (not required) * Password * Company (not required) * Company Size (not required) * What industry are you in? * How will you use ALPR? After registering, you will be sent an email to activate your account. Upon successful activation and first sign-in, you will be presented with a signup wizard to select your ALPR product and plan. To access our ALPR API, you will want to select "Rekor CarCheck". After selecting this product, you will be provided with a list of plans. ## Subscription Plans Rekor CarCheck® offers [three self-serve plans](https://rekor.ai/developers/carcheck#plans) and one Enterprise plan designed to enable license plate and vehicle recognition for users of all sizes. If you wish to try out the service before paying, there is a 50 API credit trial tier available immediately after your account is created. Simply log out and log back in, bypassing the sign-up wizard, to access the trial credits.\ \ Each Rekor CarCheck® plan offers a different number of API credits per month with each recognition provided by the service costing one API credit. A recognition occurs whenever a plate or vehicle is detected in the provided image. Therefore, if your image has both a discernible plate and vehicle, it would cost two credits. If you find yourself often exceeding your allotted credits each month, you can [upgrade your plan](https://cloud.openalpr.com/cloudapi/) at any time. {% hint style="warning" %} API credits reset on the 1st of every month. {% endhint %} ### Starter Rekor CarCheck Starter is designed for start-up businesses and/or hobbyists integrating ALPR into a basic system.
