Quick Answer

Free organization listings include 1 team member slot. Sponsor organization listings include 3 team member slots. If you have multiple sponsor listings, the slots stack—2 sponsor listings give you 6 team slots total.

Overview

Your team member capacity depends on whether your listings are Free or Sponsor tier. This applies across all your listings under one account, so upgrading any listing to Sponsor increases your available team slots.

How Sponsor Slots Stack

Sponsor benefits apply account-wide. Any sponsor listing—whether Profile, Organization, Event, or Job—adds 3 slots to your total.

Example scenarios:

  • 1 Free Organization = 1 team slot

  • 1 Sponsor Organization = 3 team slots

  • 1 Sponsor Organization + 1 Sponsor Profile = 6 team slots

  • 3 Free Organizations + 1 Sponsor Job = 3 team slots (sponsor overrides)

What Happens When You Downgrade

If your Sponsor listing becomes Free (due to cancellation or payment failure), you enter a 7-day grace period:

  1. All team members retain access during the grace period

  2. You receive notification to reduce your team size

  3. After 7 days, excess members are automatically removed (last added, first removed)

  4. You can re-upgrade anytime to keep all members

Checking Your Current Usage

  • Manage existing members

  • Add new members if slots are available

FAQs

Can I negotiate more team slots? Enterprise agreements can include custom team limits. Contact Heritage Web to discuss your organization's needs.

Do expired team members count against my limit? No. Only active team members count. Expired or removed members free up their slots immediately.

If I have multiple organizations, do they share team slots? Yes. Team slots are account-wide, not per-listing. All your sponsor listings contribute to a shared pool of team slots.

What role should I assign to maximize value? Content Manager is ideal for staff who need to edit listings and respond to messages. Admin adds lead purchasing and pro bono acceptance capabilities.
