Lingo's pricing distinguishes between Consumers (view-only) and Editors (can edit). Understanding this helps manage your subscription costs.
What makes someone an Editor
A team member is counted as an Editor if they have edit capabilities:
Always Editors:
Owners
Admins
Content Managers
Editors when granted edit access:
Members with edit access to at least one Kit
Never Editors:
Members without any Kit edit access
Public guests (no account)
The billing impact
Each assigned Editor incurs an editor cost per billing cycle
Removing edit access can reduce your Editor count
Consumers only incur a cost if they access your space
Checking your Editor count
Go to the Billing page
Under your plan details find "Editors"
Note: Some enterprise plans may have different terms. Check your specific plan details.
Managing Editor count
To reduce Editors:
Remove Kit edit access from Members who don't need it
Downgrade Admins/Content Managers to Members if appropriate
Best practices
Grant edit access only when necessary
Regularly audit who has edit access
Use Member role for view-only users
