Permission levels and billing

The cost of upgrading a workspace (and of paying for subsequent months/years of a premium Airtable plan) is affected by the permission levels of your collaborators. Workspaces on the free plan do include a limit on base or workspace collaborators with editor permissions or higher. More information on Airtable plans and pricing is located here. 

When calculating your bill, adding users with the following permissions/access level will increase the charges on your per-month or per-year invoice in the associated workspace:

• Workspace owners
• Workspace collaborators at the creator level
• Workspace collaborators at the editor level
• Workspace collaborators at the commenter level
• Base collaborators at the creator level with access to at least one base in the workspace in question
• Base collaborators at the editor level with access to at least one base in the workspace in question
• Base collaborators at the commenter level with access to at least one base in the workspace in question
• Interface collaborators at the editor level on an interface
• Interface collaborators at the commenter level on an interface

However, on your workspace's Plus or Pro plan none of the following types of collaborators will count toward the number of users in your workspace (and therefore, their access will not increase your per-month or per-year charge):

• Read-only workspace collaborators
• Read-only base collaborators
• Read-only interface collaborators
• Workspace, base, or interface collaborators at any level that have been invited to create an Airtable account, but who have not yet accepted the invitation
