Team seats and owner permissions

Franz teams are managed by an owner account. The owner controls billing, seats, invitations, and member removal from the team management page so one person has a clear view of subscription changes. Team seats are sold as Franz for Teams, and every seat is a Max seat.

What counts as a seat

A seat can be used by an active team member or reserved by a pending invite. When the owner invites someone from team management and the subscription needs another seat, Franz shows the seat change before the invite is sent. The owner must confirm that change before the team grows.

Pending invites can be revoked by the owner. If an invite is removed before it's accepted, the team page updates the pending seat state. If a member is removed, the team page shows how the subscription will handle that seat for the current billing period.

Owner-only actions

The owner can invite members, revoke pending invites, remove members, and manage billing. Team members can leave the team from their own account when that action is available, but they can't change team billing or remove other members. The owner sees seats, invites and invoices, never what a member does in Franz.

Buying seats

To start a team, open the Teams tab on the pricing page, choose how many seats you need, including your own, and pay in one checkout. You can buy up to 20 seats there. For a bigger team, contact us.

If you own a current Pro subscription with team members, your team page shows a "Move to Franz for Teams" card instead of the invite form. Your members keep their seats, and your Pro plan ends automatically once Franz for Teams is active. Older team plans keep their seats and invites as they are.
