One plan for all your communities
Own up to three communities on one plan. They share one allowance, one extra usage setting and one bill. Where billing lives and what happens if you stop paying.
- billing
- plans
- multiple communities
- extra usage
You can own up to three communities. When one of them is on Creator or Growth, that plan covers all of them. You pay once, and every community you own shares its allowance: storage, emails, live and webinar hours, and contacts.
Every community on the plan also gets the plan's features, so a Growth plan on one community means webinars, tiers and the rest on all of them.
What is shared and what is not
Shared across your communities: storage, emails, live room hours, webinar viewer hours and contacts. A send, a session or an upload in any of them counts toward the same total.
Still separate for each community: its members, its admin and editor seats, its custom domain, and everything it earns. Each community also keeps its own Stripe account, prices and payouts.
Where billing lives
Plan & billing is the same on every community you own. Open it in any of them and you manage the one account: your card, your extra usage setting, your spend limit, your plan and your bills. Upgrading, downgrading, cancelling and changing your card apply to every community you own, whichever one you press them in. Billing is owner only, as it always was.
Open Plan & billing
In any of your communities, open Settings, then Plan & billing.
See what you are on
The page shows the plan your communities run on and what the whole group has used.
Manage everything there
Your card, extra usage, spend limit, plan changes and bills are all on this page, whichever community you are in.
Your bill
Extra usage is billed once, on the card for your plan. Emails and live and webinar sessions are listed on the statement by community, so you can see which one used what. Storage is one line for the whole group, because it is charged at the group's highest point.
One extra usage switch and one spend limit cover all your communities together. See Usage and overage pricing for the rates.
Your other communities move to your plan's billing day. Their current period is stretched or shortened to end on that day, so no allowance is gained or lost, and nothing you have already used moves. If you pay for your plan yearly, your other communities keep their current billing dates.
Unpaid bills
If a bill on any of your communities is unpaid, extra usage pauses for all of them until it is paid. You can pay it from Plan & billing. Your included allowance, your content and your members are never affected.
Paying for more than one
If two of your communities each have their own paid plan, each keeps its own. The community on the higher plan covers the rest, or the older one if both are on the same plan. A community that pays for itself keeps its own allowance.
Cancel the one you don't need and it moves onto the plan you keep once the plan it paid for ends. Any extra usage it ran up while it paid for itself is billed to its own card.
A community that runs on your plan cannot buy a second plan of its own. If you change plan from it, you change your one plan for every community you own.
Deleting a community
If you delete a community that runs on your plan, its usage this billing period stays on your bill, with the rest of your communities.
Your free .com
The free .com domain comes once per person, across all your communities, one for life rather than one a year. It comes with a full price Creator or Growth plan. It belongs to you, not to a community: every community you own can use it, and deleting or handing over the community you got it on leaves it with you. If you delete your last community, the dialog asks you to tick that you will lose access to your domains and that they will not be renewed, so move them to a registrar of your own first. If you have already used it, the Domains page says so before you search, rather than at the last click. Extra domains beyond the free .com are covered in Connect your own domain.
If you stop paying
If you cancel, or the plan finally ends, every community goes back to its own free plan. Nothing is deleted. The cancel confirmation counts storage and contacts across all your communities, so you can see what you would be over on Free before you confirm. For the rest of what a downgrade does, see Change plan and read your invoices.
Common questions
Do I pay again when I start a second community?
No. If one of your communities is on Creator or Growth, a new one you start runs on that plan straight away. See Start a second community.
Does each community get its own allowance?
No. They share one. Storage, emails, live and webinar hours and contacts are counted across all your communities together, so three communities do not mean three times the allowance.
Can I give a community its own plan?
Not while it runs on your plan. A community that already pays for its own plan keeps it, but a community on your plan cannot buy another one. Change your plan from any of your communities instead, and it changes for all of them.
Can I hand a community on my plan to someone else?
Yes, if it can be handed over at all. It leaves your plan when the new owner accepts and runs on their plan from then on. See Transfer your community to someone else.
Does a free community share anything?
No. Free plans are never grouped. Each free community has its own free allowance.
Can an admin see the billing?
No. Billing is owner only, on every community you own.
