For more information on how to upgrade your plan check out <a href=\"https:\/\/pumble.com\/help\/workspace-administration\/pricing\/upgrade-a-free-workspace-to-a-paid-plan\/\">this article<\/a>. Additionally, you have the option to buy additional user seats if you plan to invite more users in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"note, translation-block\"><strong>Bundle seats<\/strong>&nbsp;represent a number of active members on Pumble, Clockify and Plaky workspaces purchased with&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/pumble.com\/help\/workspace-administration\/pricing\/pumble-subscription-plans-and-extra-features\/\">Bundle subscription plan<\/a>&nbsp;within&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/cake.com\/\">CAKE.com<\/a>&nbsp;productivity Suite.
