What are seat types in SafetyCulture?
Come together as a team in SafetyCulture using a combination of full seats, lite seats, and free seats.
What are seat types?
We understand that in an organization, each team member has different responsibilities and tasks. To help organizations optimize their spending when it comes to using SafetyCulture, we offer three different seat types at varying price points:
Full seats
Lite seats
Free seats
This means that you only need to pay for the specific job requirements of each team member, ensuring that your investment in SafetyCulture is cost-effective and tailored to your needs.
Please note that selecting seat types is only applicable to organizations on the Premium Plan and Enterprise Plan.
Available seat types
Full seats are the foundation of a SafetyCulture organization, tailored for managers and team members that have the following responsibilities:
Manage user accounts in SafetyCulture.
Perform inspections regularly.
Use Analytics to observe trends and drive improvement.
Create and manage inspection templates.
Manage integrations and workflows.
As a user in a full seat, they'll have full access to all features and functionalities in SafetyCulture, subject to the permissions assigned to them.
Please note that the lite seat option is currently in as part of the Training feature. If you would like to sign up for Early Access, please register your interest and our team will contact you.
Lite seats are what you might assign to most of your frontline works and general staff, tailored for team members that have the following jobs to be done:
Create training content.
Receive training and communications.
View and work with assets.
Create tasks and report issues.
As a user in a lite seat, they'll have full access to the Training feature, with limitations around administration and inspection functionalities.
