Who can manage billing
Only the organization Owner can open Admin Settings → Billing, change plans or update payment details. Other members who try to open it land on Admin Settings → Organization instead. If you need a change and aren’t the Owner, ask them. See Roles for what each role can do.Read the Subscription & Billing page
Team, Scale, and Enterprise include unlimited members. Invite members from Admin Settings → Organization. Adding members does not increase the plan price or credit pool. The Pay-As-You-Go switch and cap are on Admin Settings → Usage; see Pay-As-You-Go.
The Free plan has no Stripe subscription, so it shows only Upgrade Plan.
