What “billing source” means

Chief - the Create a new Project form where the plan and billing source is set
Every Project has a plan & billing source — the subscription that funds the usage inside it and decides which features members get. You set this when you create a Project, in the Project plan & billing section of the create form.

​
The two options

Chief - the two billing options Members use their own plans and Use my plan for everyone
  • Members use their own plans (the default) — each member’s usage is charged to their own account, and the features they can use depend on their individual subscription. Good for ad-hoc groups where everyone already has their own plan.
  • Use my plan for everyone — all Project usage is charged to your account, and members get access to the features included in your subscription. Good when you want to fund a team’s work and guarantee everyone has the same capabilities.
ℹ️ Good to Know: With Use my plan for everyone, members get the features in your plan even if their own plan is smaller — useful for giving a whole team the same level of access from one subscription.

Set the billing source when creating a Project

  1. Open the Switch Projects picker (click the project name at the top), then click + New Project.
  2. In the Create a new Project form, click the Project plan & billing heading (with the chevron) to expand the section.
  3. Select Members use their own plans or Use my plan for everyone.
  4. Click Create project.
If you don’t expand the section, the Project is created with Members use their own plans. For details on how plans work, use the Learn more link next to the heading.
⚠️ Important: The billing source is chosen at creation time. If you need a different funding arrangement and can’t change it on an existing Project, create a new Project with the option you want and move the work there.
