What it is

Teams and seats let more than one person work in Austen together. Instead of a single login passed around or content scattered across personal accounts, your work lives in shared projects that the right people can see and edit. The Pro plan includes two seats, and the Team plan includes five, so you can match the size of your group to the plan.

A seat is a person with their own access. A project is a shared space for related work. Together they mean a small team can run its content in one place, with everyone looking at the same drafts, plans, and assets.

How it helps you

Sharing a single account is a quiet source of problems. You cannot tell who changed what, you trip over each other in the same draft, and there is no clean way to bring a client in without handing over the keys to everything. Real seats remove that friction. Each person signs in as themselves, and shared projects keep the work organised by client or by initiative rather than by whoever happened to create it.

For agencies and freelancers, this is the difference between a tidy client relationship and an awkward one. You can keep a client's work in its own project and bring the client in to see drafts without exposing your other accounts. For in house teams, it means a writer, an editor, and a manager can all work the same pipeline without standing on each other.

The result is fewer lost files, less duplicated effort, and a clear shared view of where everything stands.

Who it's for

This is for any group that produces content together. Two person marketing teams will find the Pro plan's seats enough to cover a writer and an editor. Larger in house teams and agencies juggling several clients will want the five seats on the Team plan. Freelancers who collaborate with clients or subcontractors get a clean way to share work without sharing logins.

How it fits the rest of Austen

Shared projects are the foundation that the collaborative features build on. Once your team is working in one place, Review workflows let you pass drafts around for sign off, and the Content calendar gives everyone the same view of what is planned and what is live.

Because projects keep client and initiative work separate, the rest of the platform stays organised as you scale rather than turning into one large undivided pile.

Common questions

How many seats do I get? The Pro plan includes two seats and the Team plan includes five. Each seat is a person with their own sign in.

Can I bring a client into a project? Yes. Shared projects let you give the right people access to the work that concerns them without exposing everything else in your account.

What is the difference between a seat and a project? A seat is a person who can sign in. A project is a shared space for related content. People with seats work inside the projects they have access to.
