Registering for FireCloud is free! This will allow you to browse public workspaces, methods, and datasets. However, you must have access to at least one FireCloud Billing Project in order to create or clone a new workspace. After you register, please refer to this tutorial on how to set up billing so that you can proceed with creating a workspace.
Note that you can optionally provide a Contact Email to receive information to help you get started, as well as periodic notifications. We recommend providing a Contact Email if the Gmail or Google Apps account you use to register for FireCloud is not your primary email. If you do not provide a Contact Email, we will send notifications to your Gmail or Google Apps account.
