Pricing and seat limitations for upgrading to the growth plan in Slack.

Last updated: Mar 18, 2024
Hi everybody, thanks to the generous free tier I’ve been able to start a few projects. One of them is reaching the limits and now it’s time for us to upgrade to the growth plan. The free tier has a few accounts on them for editors (about 5), so will we be paying 5*$15=$75/month when upgrading to the growth plan or does the pricing only counts for specific user roles?
The Free tier includes 20 seats and the growth plan up to 50. Would we be paying only for accounts numbered 21-50?

Thanks for asking this important question about Growth plan pricing! I can see why this is confusing, and I want to give you the most accurate information I can.

According to Sanity's official pricing documentation, the Growth Plan is $15 per seat per month with support for up to 50 user seats. The documentation also states that "each user on the project requires a paid seat."

However, here's where I need to be transparent: The documentation I have access to doesn't explicitly clarify whether the Growth plan has a base price that includes some seats, or if you pay $15 for each individual seat starting from seat #1. This is exactly the detail you're asking about, and it's a critical distinction for understanding your actual costs.

What I can tell you for certain:

  • Free tier: Up to 20 users at no cost
  • Growth plan: Up to 50 users, $15/seat/month pricing structure
  • All user roles count as seats (viewers, editors, developers, admins)

Given this uncertainty about the exact billing structure, I'd strongly recommend reaching out to Sanity's support or sales team directly before upgrading. They can clarify whether:

  1. You'll pay $15 × 5 = $75/month for your 5 users, OR
  2. There's a different base pricing structure

You can contact them through the Sanity dashboard or at sales@sanity.io. This way you'll have a clear answer about your actual costs before committing to the upgrade.

The good news is that the Growth plan does come with valuable features beyond just more seats: private datasets, Comments and Tasks, Content Releases, Scheduled Publishing, and AI Assist. Plus, new projects get a free trial of Growth features to test before committing!

👋 You’d be paying for each seat on the growth plan, regardless of the total number of users. So you’d be looking at $75/month.
Cool, thats what I was thinking. Thanks!
You’re welcome!
