This article refers to our new pricing plans. For information about our legacy plans (before Dec 2025), please log in to view this article or contact us via live chat.
Overview

Every teammate who accesses your Featurebase dashboard requires a seat. There are two types:
Full seat – billed, full access to all capabilities
Lite seat – free, limited access for collaborators outside your core team
You can view and manage seats from Settings → Team members.
Notes:
Your end-users never need any seats. You can always have unlimited end-users to support and get feedback from!
Teammates who use Featurebase through any integration (e.g., HubSpot, Slack, Linear, etc.) don’t need seats.
Admin roles are a separate feature that lets you limit teammates’ access to specific features if needed.
Full seats
Full seats provide unrestricted access to all capabilities in your plan. Pricing per full seat (billed yearly):
Free – 1 full seat included
Growth – $29 / seat
Professional – $59 / seat
Enterprise – $99 / seat
Lite seats
Lite seats provide limited access for cross-functional collaborators (e.g., sales, marketing, legal, engineering, design).
Included Lite seats per plan:
Free - no lite seats included
Growth - no lite seats included
Professional - 20 lite seats
Enterprise - 50 lite seats
Lite seats do not cost anything - they’re included for free on the Professional and Enterprise plans.
Lite seat users get a simplified view of the Support Inbox (but not reply), can submit feedback on behalf of customers, and access certain workspace areas with restrictions. They cannot manage workspace-level settings or take action on behalf of the support or product teams.
Note: For feedback collection, you only need a Lite seat for teammates who need to submit feedback on behalf of customers. All other teammates can submit feedback on their own behalf for free!

How seats are managed
You can see how many full or lite seats are in use and remove seats by going to Settings → Team members:

If you adjust seats mid-billing period, the Subscription page and your invoice will not match:
Invoices always show accurate prorated billing based on the actual days each seat was active.
The Subscription page shows costs based on the current seat count and does not factor in prorated amounts.
