Each paid seat (for a multi-channel guest or for a regular member) in your workspace allows you to invite up to five single channel guests at no additional cost. Purchasing 10 user seats allows you to invite up to 50 single channel guests. <strong>Multi-channel guests <\/strong>are charged the same way as regular members. One multi-channel guest user equals one paid seat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">When inviting new users, the <strong>Invite users screen<\/strong> will display the remaining number of <strong>Single channel guests<\/strong> that can be added to your workspace.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1564\" height=\"1334\" src=\"https:\/\/pumble.com\/help\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Screenshot-2024-12-30-at-21.36.21-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9183\" style=\"width:497px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pumble.com\/help\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Screenshot-2024-12-30-at-21.36.21-1.png 1564w, https:\/\/pumble.com\/help\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Screenshot-2024-12-30-at-21.36.21-1-300x256.png 300w, https:\/\/pumble.com\/help\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Screenshot-2024-12-30-at-21.36.21-1-1024x873.png 1024w, https:\/\/pumble.com\/help\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Screenshot-2024-12-30-at-21.36.21-1-768x655.png 768w, https:\/\/pumble.com\/help\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Screenshot-2024-12-30-at-21.36.21-1-1536x1310.png 1536w, https:\/\/pumble.com\/help\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Screenshot-2024-12-30-at-21.36.21-1-14x12.png 14w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1564px) 100vw, 1564px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group related-articles\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Related Articles<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list related-articles-list\">\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><a href=\"https:\/\/pumble.com\/help\/workspace-administration\/pricing\/guide-to-billing-at-pumble\/\">Guide to Billing at Pumble<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><a href=\"https:\/\/pumble.com\/help\/workspace-administration\/pricing\/upgrade-a-free-workspace-to-a-paid-plan\/\">Upgrade a Free Workspace to a Paid Plan<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><a href=\"https:\/\/pumble.com\/help\/workspace-administration\/pricing\/manage-subscription-and-billing-details\/\">Manage Subscription and Billing Details<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This user guide provides a clear understanding of how user seats function at Pum&#8230;","protected":false},"author":31,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_helpful_status":1,"_searchwp_excluded":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[53],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5116","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-pricing"],"acf":[],"featured_image_src":null,"author_info":{"display_name":"isidora.komaromi@cake.com","author_link":"https:\/\/pumble.com\/help\/author\/isidora-komaromicake-com\/"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pumble.com\/help\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5116","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pumble.com\/help\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pumble.com\/help\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pumble.com\/help\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/31"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pumble.com\/help\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5116"}],"version-history":[{"count":56,"href":"https:\/\/pumble.com\/help\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5116\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14135,"href":"https:\/\/pumble.com\/help\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5116\/revisions\/14135"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pumble.com\/help\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5116"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pumble.com\/help\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5116"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pumble.com\/help\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5116"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
