Hello,I am paying for the growth plan on my project and I just added a new member to my project through going to My project->Members->Invite project members.
Can you please advise whether I will be charged for this team member?

Based on the official Sanity documentation, yes, adding a new member to your Growth plan project will likely result in charges, depending on how many seats you're currently using.

Here's what I can confirm from the Sanity pricing documentation:

Growth Plan Pricing:

  • The Growth plan costs $15 per seat per month
  • The plan supports up to 50 user seats

When you invite a new member to your project, they will consume one of your available seats. If you haven't reached your seat limit, the new member will be added to your existing subscription. However, you'll be billed for each seat that's actively being used.

What you should check:

  1. Review your current seat usage: Log into manage.sanity.io, navigate to your project's Settings β†’ Billing section to see how many seats you currently have and how many are in use.

  2. Understand your billing: The Growth plan bills per seat at $15/month, so each additional team member will add to your monthly costs unless you have unused seats already included in your current plan.

  3. Consider the role assigned: The documentation confirms that the Growth plan includes 5 different permission roles (Administrator, Viewer, Editor, Developer, and Contributor), but it doesn't explicitly state whether certain roles like "Viewer" are free versus paid.

My recommendation: Since the documentation doesn't clearly specify whether certain roles (like Viewer) consume paid seats or not, I'd suggest contacting Sanity support directly through your dashboard or at support@sanity.io to get a definitive answer about:

  • Whether all roles consume paid seats equally
  • Your current seat usage and available capacity
  • How the new member will affect your billing

This will ensure you have accurate information specific to your account before the new member starts using the system.

Growth you indeed pay per users, (15)
I have this for my own sanity project aswell
you will be billed per user
thanks, will this just be added onto my bill? I didnt have any confirmation that I will be charged extra
What i have seen is that it will just be added to your bill, have you received a recent bill yet? Then it will be on your next billing. Stating the amount of users in the platform * the amount costs.
ahh ok, no I havent yet, should have one soon so will keep an eye out. It's just a bit worrying how easy it is to add users and spend more money haha
Thanks for your help

haha i get that! No worries πŸ™‚
