Startup Plan Team Limits

The Startup plan supports one active team. This is a hard plan-level limit — you cannot create a second team without upgrading to Business.

What This Means in Practice

• Your organization can have multiple members, but they all belong to the same team
• You get one DSM Board, one team schedule configuration, and one team lead
• All members' updates are visible together on that single board

For many small teams, this is perfectly sufficient. If you later need to split into frontend/backend, mobile/web, or product/engineering teams, that's when Business becomes relevant.

Upgrading to Business

To create more teams, upgrade to Business in Settings → Billing. The upgrade takes effect immediately and your existing team and all its data carries over unchanged.

See Startup vs Business plan comparison.

Downgrading from Business to Startup

If you downgrade from Business to Startup:

• All teams except your first team are automatically deactivated
• Members on deactivated teams remain in the org but are no longer on an active team
• All historical data for the deactivated teams is preserved
• You'll need to manually move members to the remaining active team if needed

The downgrade takes effect at the start of your next billing cycle, giving you time to consolidate before the change happens.
