Household Seats and Billing
How household seats work on the Household plan, and how billing is handled
How Seats Work
The Household plan includes 2 adult members. Whoever creates the household is the first member, so that leaves room for one Partner or Member invite by default. Everyone in the household — including invited members on the Free tier — gets premium access through the household subscription, so nobody needs their own paid plan.
Roles That Count Toward Your Seat Allocation
The current household model uses these four roles:
| Role | Counts toward seats? |
|---|---|
| Owner | Yes — uses one of the included seats |
| Partner | Yes — uses one of the included seats |
| Member | Yes — uses one of the included seats |
| Viewer | No — view-only role, does not consume a seat |
See household roles explained for what each role can do.
Need More Seats?
We are intentionally launching with the 2-seat allocation and gathering feedback before adding paid extra seats. If your household needs more seats today, email support@nivoaflow.com and let us know — it helps us prioritise the feature.
Managing Members
- Go to Settings > Household
- Open the Members section to see your current roster and seat usage
- Use Invite Member to fill an open seat, or change a member's role from the same screen
For the full invite walkthrough, see Inviting and Managing Household Members.
Billing Basics
- The Household plan billed monthly is $12.99 CAD/mo; annual is $99 CAD/yr (or $69 CAD/yr during the founding pricing window)
- Billing happens on the same cycle (monthly or annual) regardless of how many seats are currently filled
- Stripe handles all invoicing — view invoice history and update payment methods from Settings > Plans > Manage subscription
See Subscription Plans and Pricing for full pricing and Managing Payment Methods to access the Stripe portal.
Example Scenarios
Couple managing finances together
- You (Owner) + Partner (Partner) — fills both included seats, perfect for a couple
You and an adult family member
- You (Owner) + Sibling/parent (Member) — uses both seats; the second person can manage their own transactions and accounts
Adding a view-only viewer
- You (Owner) + Partner (Partner) + Parent (Viewer) — Viewer does not consume a seat, so this works on the included allocation
