# Using ComicInk for teaching or marketing

ComicInk works for classrooms and marketing teams as well as personal stories. Both have their own starting page with example comics, ready-made templates and a free trial.

## Free trial for schools and teams

- On `comicink.ai/educators` or `comicink.ai/for-marketing`, choose **Get a free classroom trial** or **Get a free team trial**. Sign in (or create a free account), then tell us your name, your school or company, and what you want to make.
- The trial adds **1,000 credits** to your account — enough for three or four complete comics.
- Signed up with a **school or work email**? The credits arrive straight away. With a personal email (Gmail, Outlook and so on) we check the request by hand, usually within a day.
- One trial per account.
- Want to talk first? Choose **Talk to us** on either page to open a chat with our team.

## For teachers

- Pick a lesson template on `comicink.ai/educators`: **Lesson to Comic**, **Vocabulary Story**, **History Moment** or **Science Process**. It opens the story box already filled in — change the topic to your own lesson.
- **Reading level:** in the **New Comic** window, set a reading level (Ages 6–8, 9–11, 12–14, 15+, Adult, or a language-learner level from A1 to C1). The script's words and sentence length are written for that level; the story stays complete.
- **Classroom pack:** open **Export** and choose **Classroom pack**. You get the comic as a PDF plus a worksheet written from the comic — comprehension questions with space to answer, a vocabulary list and discussion questions — and an answer key on its own page. It's free.
- Accounts are for adults (18+). Students don't need their own account: make the comic with your class on the classroom screen, then [share the link](https://help.comicink.ai/en/article/publishing-and-sharing-your-comic-phhafd/) or print the pages and the worksheet.
- Dialogue can be written in any of ComicInk's 22 comic languages, which suits language classes.

## For marketing teams

- Pick a template on `comicink.ai/for-marketing`: **Brand Mascot Intro**, **Product Explainer**, **Customer Story** or **Social Carousel**, and swap in your own brand, product and customer details.
- Save your mascot as a character once and it keeps the same look on every page.
- Download pages for social posts and slides, or export a PDF.

## What it costs

Beyond the trial, the same as for everyone: credit packs or a plan. Writing the script, setting a reading level and the classroom pack's worksheet are free; drawing pages uses credits. See [credits and pricing](https://help.comicink.ai/en/article/how-credits-work-1m9t59m/).
