Request 30-day trial
If you would like to further explore Uwazi, you can request an Uwazi database of your own to test out free for 30 days. Simply fill in this form with your request and a description of what you plan to use Uwazi for.

After 30 days, if you wish to continue to use Uwazi, we offer hosting packages scaled to the data volume used in your collection.
