SAP Marketing Cloud suite enables real-time contextual marketing. Engage customers, delight them, and cultivate brand relationships by marketing to an audience of one.  One of the Frequently Asked Question is how can I demo and how can I get hands-on.

Type of Experience	Setup time	Costs	Time Limit	Target audience
Demo	~5 min	FREE	30 days	Anyone with interest to try the application feature functionality from end user perspective
Hands-on	~1 hour	Only the hourly usage charge of hosting provider(eg: Amazon) NO charge from SAP	30 days	Anyone with who wants to go under the hood (eg: consultants, implementers) and even for quick POC’s

*The instance creation wizard in CAL shows the exact amount (approx.2 USD) you will be paying to Amazon on hourly basis. If you can suspend the instance while not in use, you may not be charged. Also, you may have to pay a basic fee independent from system use as well.
