Billing for Additional Workspaces

Learn how Workspace Add-ons work in Skippz when you need more workspaces than your plan includes. This article explains when additional workspace charges apply, whether you need to upgrade your plan, how workspace add-ons are handled during upgrades and downgrades, how workspace usage differs from storage and bandwidth, and how to avoid unnecessary workspace charges.


Skippz plans include a specific number of workspaces. If you need more workspaces than your plan includes, you can add additional workspaces using Workspace Add-ons.

A Workspace Add-on gives you an additional workspace without requiring you to upgrade your entire subscription plan.

What is an additional workspace?

A workspace is a separate area you can use to organize content, teams, or projects.

For example, if your plan includes 2 workspaces and you need to manage content for a third project, you can add another workspace if Workspace Add-ons are available for your account.

The additional workspace is billed separately from the workspaces included with your plan.

When am I charged for an additional workspace?

An additional workspace becomes chargeable when the number of workspaces you have is greater than the number included in your subscription plan.

For example:

  • Your plan includes: 2 workspaces

  • You currently have: 2 workspaces

  • Additional workspaces: 0

  • You create another workspace: 1 Workspace Add-on

The additional workspace is then included as an add-on on your account.

Do I need to upgrade my plan?

Not necessarily.

If you only need a small number of additional workspaces, a Workspace Add-on can allow you to keep your current subscription plan while adding the workspace you need.

However, if your plan already includes enough workspaces for your needs, you don't need an add-on.

What happens if I upgrade my plan?

When you upgrade, your new plan may include more workspaces.

Skippz checks your existing workspaces against the new plan's workspace allowance.

If your new plan includes enough workspaces to cover the ones you already have, the applicable Workspace Add-ons can be absorbed or canceled.

If your existing workspaces are still above the new plan's limit, the remaining excess workspaces continue as Workspace Add-ons.

What happens if I downgrade my plan?

A downgrade takes effect at the end of your current subscription period.

When the downgrade becomes effective, Skippz checks the number of workspaces you actually have against the workspace limit of the new plan.

For example:

  • You currently have: 4 workspaces

  • Your new plan includes: 2 workspaces

  • Excess: 2 workspaces

The 2 excess workspaces become Workspace Add-ons and are charged on the next billing cycle.

You can remove unnecessary workspaces before the downgrade takes effect if you want to avoid those additional charges.

Are workspace charges the same as storage or bandwidth charges?

No. They are different types of billing.

  • Storage is based on the videos stored in your account.

  • Bandwidth is based on video delivery and playback.

  • Workspace Add-ons are based on the number of workspaces beyond your plan's included allowance.

Storage and bandwidth usage are calculated at the account level. A workspace does not receive its own separate storage or bandwidth allowance simply because it is a separate workspace.

Is workspace usage pooled?

Workspaces are separate areas for organizing your content and teams, but storage and bandwidth are still calculated at the account level.

For example, if your account includes 100 GB of storage, creating two workspaces does not give you 100 GB for each workspace.

The 100 GB applies to your account as a whole.

You can view usage in General (account-wise) or Workspace-wise views. The Workspace view organizes the usage information by workspace, while the underlying storage and bandwidth limits remain account-level.

How can I avoid additional workspace charges?

Before adding or keeping extra workspaces, check how many workspaces your current plan includes.

If you no longer need a workspace, removing it before a plan downgrade or before your next billing cycle can help you avoid unnecessary Workspace Add-on charges.
