Household Seats and Billing

How household seats work on the Household plan, and how billing is handled

Last updated October 17, 2026

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:

RoleCounts toward seats?
OwnerYes: uses one of the included seats
PartnerYes: uses one of the included seats
MemberYes: uses one of the included seats
ViewerNo: 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

  1. Go to Household > Manage Household
  2. Open the Members section to see your current roster and seat usage
  3. Use Invite Adult to fill an open seat, or change a member's role from the same screen

Check the role after the person joins. If all member seats are occupied when an invitation is accepted, they can join as a Viewer instead.

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
