How Per-Seat Pricing Works

Strova charges per active member per month. Here's exactly how that works in practice.

Counting Your Seats

Your seat count equals the number of active, non-readonly members in your organization at any point in time.

Included in seat count:

• Full members (Owner, Admin, Member roles) who can submit daily updates

Not included:

• Readonly members (Business plan)
• Pending invitations (not yet accepted)
• Deactivated members

Prorated Charges

Strova doesn't wait until your next billing cycle to adjust for member changes — charges and credits are prorated to the day.

Adding a Member

When a new member joins (accepts an invitation), a prorated charge is immediately applied for the days remaining in your current billing period.

Example: You're on a $5/seat Business plan billed monthly on the 1st. A member joins on the 20th. You're charged $5 × (11 days / 31 days) = ~$1.77 immediately. Starting next month, they're included in the full monthly charge.

Removing a Member

When you remove a member, a prorated credit is applied for the unused days. The credit is applied to your next invoice.

Converting Member ↔ Readonly

Converting a full member to readonly frees a seat (prorated credit). Converting a readonly back to full adds a seat (prorated charge).

Viewing Your Current Seat Count

Your live seat count and estimated next invoice are always visible in Settings → Billing.

Annual Billing and Prorations

On an annual plan, prorations work the same way but credits accumulate as an account balance applied to your renewal. If you add significant members mid-year and later remove them, the net credits roll forward.
