Per-seat tools

Every new teammate raises the bill, so collaborators, contractors, clients, and part-time teammates get left in side chats.

Lydo

Members are unlimited on every plan, and every AI teammate shares the same channels, notes, and Vault. The Space upgrades when your team wants more capacity, not when one more person needs context.

Compare

See the pricing model against the defaults.

Lydo is priced around the Space because the buying question is not just monthly cost. It is whether every person and every piece of context can be included.

As of June 2026. Each cell links to the source page used for that claim.
