Feature
Unlimited team members — no per-seat charges
Every editor, reviewer, and contributor included on all paid plans. Your team grows, your bill stays the same.
Why Multibase
Flat pricing, always
Intercom charges $132/seat on Expert. Zendesk charges per agent. Multibase charges per portal — team members are always unlimited.
No contributor limits
SMEs, translators, occasional editors — everyone gets an account. No more gatekeeping access to save on seats.
Content stays fresh
When everyone can edit, docs don't go stale. Subject matter experts update their own articles directly.
No permission tiers
All team members are editors with equal access. Simple, predictable, no surprises.
