Understanding User Roles and Billing
Billable vs. Non-Billable Users
Billable Users (Editors): Team members who can create, modify, or delete data
- Owner: Full administrative control
- Creator: Can create new bases and modify data
- Editor: Can modify existing data and records
Non-Billable Users (Always Free): Team members with view-only or limited access
- Commenter: Can view records and add comments, but cannot edit data
- Viewer: Read-only access to data and dashboards
💡 Pro Tip: Maximize your investment by assigning Commenter or Viewer roles to stakeholders who only need to review data, not edit it.
The "Pay for 9, Get Unlimited" Model
How It Works
- You pay for only the first 9 editor seats - regardless of your actual number of editors
- Every editor beyond the 9th is completely free - no limits, no restrictions
- Start with any number - begin with 1-2 users and grow naturally
- Automatic billing cap - NocoDB stops charging after the 9th editor
Real-World Example
Scenario: Your company has 45 total users across different departments
- 25 editors (Sales, Operations, Product teams who need to update data)
- 20 commenters/viewers (Executives, stakeholders who review reports)
What you pay for:
- Only 9 editor seats (not all 25 editors)
- 0 seats for commenters/viewers
Your cost: Same as a 9-person team, but with 45 people using the platform.

Can I change user roles after setup?
Yes, you can promote Commenters to Editors or vice versa at any time. Billing adjusts automatically based on your current editor count (up to 9 paid seats).
What happens if I temporarily need more than 9 editors?
Nothing changes with your billing. Add as many editors as needed - you'll still only pay for 9 seats.
Do I need to commit to 9 seats upfront?
