Starting today, every Drumbeats plan — Free, Pro, and Business — includes unlimited team seats.
You can invite as many teammates as you need to any project, at no extra cost, on any plan.
What changed
Previously, each plan had a fixed seat cap:
| Plan | Old limit | New limit |
|---|---|---|
| Free | 5 seats | Unlimited |
| Pro | 25 seats | Unlimited |
| Business | 100 seats | Unlimited |
Those limits are gone. There is no seat counter, no per-user add-on, no upgrade required to add someone to a project.
Why we made this change
Per-seat pricing creates a bad incentive: teams start rationing access. You skip inviting the on-call engineer because it would bump you over the cap. You consolidate accounts. You share credentials.
That is the wrong direction. Monitoring works better when everyone who needs access has it — the developer who owns the job, the team lead who gets paged, the stakeholder who wants visibility.
Seats should not be the thing that stops that from happening.
How this compares
For context: Cronitor charges $5/user/month on paid plans. A 10-person team pays $50/month in seat fees alone before counting a single monitor.
On Drumbeats, that number is $0. On every plan, including Free.
What you need to do
Nothing. The change applies to all existing accounts automatically. If you were bumping into your old seat limit, it is gone now. Go ahead and invite the rest of your team.
Open your project settings to invite members, or start free if you are not on Drumbeats yet.
