Postman plans, seats and add-ons describes the commercial editions of the Postman API platform and the rules that decide how many paid user seats an organisation needs. The plan determines which features a team can use; the number of seats determines most of the bill. The general framework is in Postman licensing.
Postman’s pricing FAQ summarises the model: Postman “is priced per user, per month, with discounts for annual billing”. Free and Solo are single-player plans, Team is for collaboration, and Enterprise is for organisation-wide scale, governance and control.[1]
Editions
The March 2026 plan change
Before March 2026 Postman offered Free, Basic, Professional and Enterprise plans. Since then it has offered Free, Solo, Team and Enterprise. Team replaces Basic, and Solo is new, giving an individual higher AI credit and automation limits.[2] The old add-ons (Postman AI, Collection Runner, Partner Editor, Advanced Security Administration, API Builder, Flows and Postbot) were folded into the new plans. The remaining add-ons are Simple Security for Team and Advanced Security Administration and Premium Support for Enterprise.[2]
Customers on a legacy plan stay on it until renewal, and only Professional plans can renew on their existing plan.[2] The pricing FAQ adds that Basic and Professional are no longer sold to new customers, that Basic customers move to Team over time, and that Professional customers keep their current plan and pricing.[1] Enterprise customers who bought before 2026-03-01 remain on the legacy Enterprise Support and Service Level Policy until their term ends or they move to the “Enterprise 2026” offering.[11] Catalog proof: Legacy plans continue until renewal; only Professional renews as is; Legacy plans.

Free. Since March 2026 the Free plan is limited to one user and cannot create a team; previously Free teams could invite up to three users.[2] Existing Free teams with several members are put into a read-only state. One Admin keeps editor access and the others keep read access to shared workspaces until the team upgrades or shrinks to one member.[3] Catalog proof: Free plan is limited to one user.
Solo. A paid single-user plan with higher limits, data-driven testing with exports, private packages, custom-branded documentation and custom domains. Like Free, it has no shared workspaces or collaboration features.[1][3]
Team. The first collaborative plan, with unlimited workspace and collection viewers, basic role-based access control and SDK generation.[1]
Enterprise. Adds Postman Organizations, advanced RBAC, user groups, SSO, SCIM, domain capture, account discovery and control, the Private API Network, Partner Workspaces, audit logs, private runners, Insights and the Postman Enterprise desktop app.[9][1] The Terms of Service define Enterprise Plans as Annual Plans, but also provide for Enterprise Monthly Plans.[6] The Auto-Flex Policy and Support Policy also refer to legacy “Enterprise Essentials” and “Enterprise Ultimate” subscriptions.[11]
Metrics
The licensed unit for Team and Enterprise is the User. For entity customers, the Terms of Service define an Authorized User as an employee or contractor “who has access to the Services using a unique username and password under Customer’s Organization Account, as provisioned by the Account Admin(s)”.[6] For Enterprise Annual Plans the definition extends to employees and contractors of the customer’s Affiliates.[6] Each User Account “is personal to the Authorized User and is non-transferable”.[6] Catalog proof: Enterprise Annual Plans may cover Affiliates' employees; Rights cannot be assigned without Postman approval.
The Auto-Flex Policy uses a related unit, the Consumed Seat. It counts “the number of Users and/or ‘seat-based’ add-ons (i.e., Simple Security, Advanced Security Administration)” enabled in the Organization Account.[12] How Consumed Seats are trued up is covered in Postman Auto-Flex, renewals and Terms of Service.
Counting / floors
Who consumes a paid seat
“A Fee is charged for each Postman User”, meaning each person given the ability to use the Services under the Organization Account.[6] The roles documentation explains which members count:
| Member type | Paid seat? | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Developer (team member) | Yes | Roles documentation[4] |
| Super Admin | Yes | Roles documentation[4] |
| Member with only Admin and/or Billing roles | No, “support user”, up to two per team | Roles documentation[4] |
| External Partner (Viewer or Editor) in a Partner Workspace | No, on March 2026 plans | About plans[2] |
| Guest (collection viewer) | Role cannot be assigned directly; views shared collections | Roles documentation[4] |
The purchase guide gives the same rule for buyers: a paid seat is needed “for anyone who needs to access the relevant Postman features”, but “each team has two free seats you can use for account management or billing”.[5] Catalog proof: Developer and Super Admin roles consume paid seats; two free support users; A Fee is charged for each User; added Users co-terminate.
Partners are external users. Users whose email address is in the customer’s own domain cannot be invited as Partners, so internal staff cannot be moved to free Partner access.[8][2] Catalog proof: Partners do not consume paid seats on March 2026 plans.
One person, one login
The account rules prohibit sharing: a User may be logged in on at most three computer systems at a time, and the customer must not “permit more than one individual to use the same Postman login credentials”.[6] A human must create and manage accounts; they may not be registered by bots or AI agents.[6] Catalog proof: One person per login, at most three computers at a time; Accounts must be created by humans, not bots or AI agents.
Removing members
Removing a member does not by itself reduce paid seats. The scaling guide says this happens only if the member was added through Auto-Flex in the current Auto-Flex cycle; otherwise a Billing user must edit the plan.[10] Catalog proof: Auto-Flex seats cannot be reduced after the billing date.
Add-ons
| Add-on | Plans | Price | Coverage rule |
|---|---|---|---|
| Simple Security | Team (included with Enterprise) | $6 per user per month | All licensed users; SCIM not included |
| Advanced Security Administration | Enterprise only | Contact sales | All licensed users |
| Premium Support | Enterprise only | Contact sales | All licensed users |

The Product Terms make the all-users rule contractual. Simple Security “is only available in connection with the ‘Team’ Subscription Plan” and, if bought, “must be purchased/added for all Users under that Account”.[7] Advanced Security Administration is likewise Enterprise-only and must be added for all Users under the Organization Account.[7] Because both are seat-based add-ons, extra users added during the term are also counted as Consumed Seats under Auto-Flex. Catalog proof: Simple Security must cover all Users and is Team-only; Advanced Security Administration must cover all Users and is Enterprise-only.
Advanced Security Administration includes domain capture, account discovery and account control, Cloud Secret Detection, vault integrations and bring-your-own-key encryption.[1] Domain capture routes corporate-domain sign-ups into the managed organisation, and account control can block unapproved accounts on the corporate network.[9] The Product Terms limit this. Domain capture may be subject to minimum seat requirements, and the customer may not use it to block access “in a manner that is disproportionate to Customer’s purchased User seats”.[7] Bringing previously unmanaged users into the organisation can therefore increase the seat count. Catalog proof: Domain Capture may not block access disproportionately to purchased seats.
Virtualization & partitioning
Not applicable. Seats are counted per person, not per machine, processor or virtual instance. The three-computer login cap is the only device-related limit.[6]
Cloud / BYOL
Not applicable to seats. Postman is a hosted service, and buying Team or Enterprise through AWS Marketplace changes the billing channel, not the seat rules. It does add minimums of 10 and 20 seats. See Postman licensing.
Out of scope
- Metered allowances (AI credits, monitoring, Flows, VU hours, Postman API calls), covered in Postman usage limits and usage-based billing.
- Negotiated Enterprise pricing and custom terms, which the pricing page lists as available on Enterprise.[1]
- Detailed feature permissions of each workspace and element role.
