📓Note
You’ll be billed for the number of active users in your workspace when you upgrade. Review our fair billing policy to learn more about how billing works.
The billing amount is billed under a workspace or a company. You can choose to switch it from a workspace to company or vice versa, if you are one of the owners of your company.
Go to Upgrade your workspace, as instructed above and click on COMPANY to switch the billing under your company instead of workspace or vice versa.
If you switch the billing from workspace to company, now all the companies related to this workspace will have to pay with respective to their share in the workspace individually. So, all the owners of the workspace who don’t belong to the same company will get notified about it and will have to confirm it from their end in order to successfully start billing under company individually.
