Guest Seats

Definition: Free or low-cost seats for external collaborators (clients, contractors) scoped to specific workspace areas.

What it is

Guest seats let workspaces invite external people (clients, freelancers, vendors) without paying full-team-member pricing. Guests typically have access scoped to specific channels, projects, or records and cannot see the rest of the workspace. Guest pricing varies — some vendors include limited guests free, others charge a reduced per-seat fee.

Why it matters

Agencies, consultancies, and project-based businesses live or die by guest pricing. A workspace that charges full price for client access becomes prohibitively expensive at scale.

Layer UI in context

Layer UI includes 3 free guest seats per workspace and charges $4/guest/month beyond that — meaningfully cheaper than full $12/seat pricing.
