Why it works this way
A team is the thing that holds the work: the Collections, the Items, the Links, and the people who manage them. Attaching payment to the team means the unit that owns the work is the unit that gets paid for, and it keeps separate operations genuinely separate. That matters most when one person is running more than one operation. A contractor managing their own plant fleet in one team and a client’s site in another can put each on the plan that fits it, hand over or wind down one without touching the other, and give each its own invoice trail for their own accounting.One person, several teams
You can create additional teams from the team switcher at any time. A team created that way starts with no subscription attached — it is a working team immediately, and subscribing it is a separate step you take when you want to. To see everything at once, open Profile → Your teams & subscriptions. That section lists every team you own, with each team’s current plan next to it and a button that takes you to that team’s page — Manage for a team that already has a subscription, Subscribe for one that does not. It only lists teams you own, so teams where you are a member rather than the owner do not appear.Only the team owner sees the billing controls
The Subscription card on the team page is rendered for the team owner only. Other members of the same team do not see the card, cannot open the billing portal for it, and cannot start a subscription for it — the checkout and portal requests both check team ownership on the server, not just in the browser. So if you are a member of someone else’s team and want to change its plan, the person who owns that team has to do it. If you own the team but signed in with a different account than the one that set it up, you will not see the card either — sign in as the owner.A team with no subscription
On a team that has never been subscribed, the Subscription card reads No active subscription and offers a Choose a plan button, and an Upgrade button appears in the top bar. That is the state a newly created team starts in. What a plan includes, and how QRtub treats a team whose usage has grown past what its plan advertises, is covered separately in Plan Limits & Quotas — read that page rather than assuming, because the answer is more specific than most software.Related
