Why change a user's seat type?

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.

Take note

  • You can only change a user's seat type via the web app.

  • You can't downgrade yourself to a free seat. If you want to downgrade your seat type, contact any user in your organization with the "user management" permission for assistance.

If your organization doesn’t have any full seats available, you’ll need the “billing management” permission to upgrade users to full seats. You will be billed a pro-rated amount for each user you upgrade to a full seat.
