Team membership gives members Pro-level feature access while the Team subscription remains active. Team members cannot create or own teams or manage the owner’s billing.

Upgrade and manage a plan

  1. Sign in to the Cosmograph web application.
  2. Open Subscription from the account menu or visit the Subscription page.
  3. Select the plan you need and follow the checkout steps.

The Subscription page is the source of truth for your current plan, billing status, seats, and available plan actions. Prices and billing terms can change, so this guide does not list fixed amounts. Plan changes can include prorated charges or refunds, which are shown before confirmation.

If you switch away from a paid plan, features that require paid access become unavailable after the subscription change. Switching away from Team also removes teammates and pending invitations from teams you own; see Downgrading from Team.

Pro

Pro is the paid plan for individual researchers, analysts, and creators who need a private solo workflow. It includes the Free features plus unlimited saved projects, password-protected publishing, direct user sharing, higher AI Assistant limits, and personal API-key settings.

Share directly with a user

Pro users can share a saved project with a specific registered user:

  1. Open the project.
  2. Select Share
 > Share with user.
  3. Enter the collaborator’s account email address.
  4. Select Share.

To remove access later, open Share
 > Manage access and revoke the user’s share. See Sharing for all available sharing methods.

â„č

Direct user sharing grants read-only access to the saved project. The recipient can explore the graph and participate in discussions, but cannot edit, save, or re-share the owner’s project. It is different from publishing a read-only URL, and the recipient must already have a registered Cosmograph account.

Teams

Teams provide a shared workspace for collaborating on projects. The Team plan includes Pro-level access for the owner and additional paid seats for non-owner members and active invitations.

Team roles

RoleWhat the role can do
OwnerRenames the team, manages members and invitations, manages subscription and seats, and can delete the team. The owner cannot leave the team.
AdminRenames the team, manages members and invitations, and can request additional seats from the owner. Admins cannot manage billing or delete the team.
MemberOpens projects shared with the team, participates in discussions, and can leave the team.

The exact actions available in the Teams page depend on the role and the team’s billing state.

Create a team

  1. Sign in to Cosmograph.
  2. Open Teams from the account menu.
  3. Select Create team.
  4. Enter a team name and confirm.

Creating and owning a team requires an active Team subscription. If the account is not on Team, the app sends you to Subscription to upgrade.

Invite teammates

Owners and admins can invite people from the Teams page:

  1. Open Teams and choose a team you manage.
  2. Select Invite.
  3. Enter the teammate’s email address and send the invitation.

Invitations can be sent to an email address whether or not that person already has a Cosmograph account. The recipient must sign in or create an account to join the team.

Pending invitations reserve a paid team seat. Invitations expire after the period shown in the invitation and can be resent or revoked while they are pending.

When an invite is accepted, the person becomes a team member and keeps the same billable seat. Declined, expired, or revoked invitations no longer count as active pending seats.

Manage members and teams

Owners and admins can rename a team, remove members, resend invitations, and revoke invitations. The owner can delete the team; admins and members can choose Leave from the Teams page.

Leaving or being removed from a team removes access to projects shared with that team. If the team is inactive, team sharing and team management remain disabled until the owner restores billing.

Request additional seats

Adding a member or pending invitation needs an available paid seat. An owner can update seats through Subscription. When an admin needs more seats, Cosmograph prompts them to request the increase; the owner receives a notification and email with a link to review billing.

Share a project with a team

Team owners and active Team members can share a project they own with one of their active teams from Share
 > Share with team. Everyone who can access that team can then open the project read-only and participate in its discussions.

To stop sharing, open Share
 > Manage access and revoke the team’s access. See Sharing for the other ways to publish or share a project.

Team seats and billing

The Team plan includes one owner seat. Each accepted non-owner member and each active pending invitation is counted as one additional seat. The owner is not charged as an additional member seat.

The Teams page shows accepted members, pending invitations, and the team total when billing information is available. The Subscription page provides the owner’s detailed team billing breakdown.

⚠

Team billing is managed by the team owner. If the subscription becomes inactive or does not cover the required seats, invitations, team sharing, and some team management actions are disabled until billing is restored.

Downgrading from Team

When an owner switches away from Team, teammates and pending invitations in teams owned by that account are removed. The team records remain in the account so the owner can restore Team later, but team collaboration is disabled while billing is inactive.

Members of a team owned by someone else should contact that owner if team access becomes unavailable. Their access depends on the owner’s active Team billing.
